I'm running out of space, so I tried to increase root size using this link:
Increase size of root partition after installing Ubuntu in Windows
Here is the output
Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda7 ext4 6,2G 5,6G 308M 95% /
udev devtmpfs 965M 4,0K 965M 1% /dev
tmpfs tmpfs 389M 892K 388M 1% /run
none tmpfs 5,0M 4,0K 5,0M 1% /run/lock
none tmpfs 972M 440K 971M 1% /run/shm
/dev/sda5 fuseblk 12G 6,1G 5,8G 52% /media/Ubuntu
/dev/sda2 fuseblk 278G 260G 19G 94% /media/AC4CC70D4CC6D16E
I tried to allocate 16Gb in the host (/dev/sda2 which is windows 7 partition).
When I get to the \ubuntu\disks folder, I only get the "new.disk" file which weighs the 16Gb allocated and not the "root.disk" file too. Also, the /dev/sda7 size doesn't increase.
Could you please help me? Many thanks
