Not necessarily, but sometimes what appears to be a folder on one partition is really a partition on another drive. For example, I have a 2 drive set up: The first drive is the / partition containing all the system directories (folders) including /home; but /home is not a true directory (folder) but the "mount point" for a partition on the second drive which is the actual "home". In this case, the /home folder is a partition. It isn't always. To help with your problem, need to know how your drive is configured for Linux. Post the output of the following three commands. df -h cat /proc/partitions cat /etc/fstab You might be able to use something like gparted to resize your partitions to get more space on your / partition. Also, please only post plain ascii test here. Thanks.
