So I'm trying to get more space into my termux to download and use I'm trying to mount the folder onto the SD does anyone know how to already or done it? I've seen that it isn't possible but I don't see why wouldn't it be especially with root

Can I mount /data/data/com.termux/ folder on external sd card? My phone is rooted Android 10 and running low of internal storage. As I read from  mounting to /sdcard requires permission to mount because /sdcard is emulated from /data/media/0 and /data/data/ is not. And from  it can mount /data/data/com.termux/ using ln -s because ext4 support links while fat doesn't. I don't know how /data/data/ directory works but is it possible to mount /data/data/com.termux/files/home/ directory to external sd card without formatting it as adoptable storage or making ext4 partition?

I used Link2SD and Titanium too. Both of them failed. I want to convert a GPS Spoofer to system app. I tried to move it manually,  but in all 3 cases, the app is completely removed from the drawer. Is there any method?  I am on Samsung J200G rooted with TWRP flashing.

I understand that by default, newly created filesystems will be created with 5% of the space allocated for root. I also know you can change the defined space with:  tune2fs -m 1 /dev/sdXY   What I'm curious about though, is what the actual purpose for this reserved space is. Does it serve any practical purpose which would merit more than 5% space in some circumstances?  The reason I've stumbled upon this question is that we recently built a 1TB filestore, and couldn't quite figure out why a df -h left us missing 5% of our capacity.

I installed Ubuntu 14.04 recently. During the installation I did not create a separate partition for my home folder. I also accidentally encrypted my home folder. When i did    sudo df   I got the result as  Filesystem                   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-root  455G  181G  251G  42% / ....   Why does this have a funny name instead of a normal '/dev/sdx'?  Please explain to me what this is?

I've Win8/Ubuntu Dual boot. I already have 4 partition so i cannot create a new partition and mount it elsewhere. So, this () question did not help.  Here's a screen shot of my Gparted (run on Ubuntu Live)   How can I extend /dev/sda6  so that  i can make use of unallocated space ?  (w/o failing my current grub)

I've got Ubuntu 10.10 installed to use my whole hard-disk, but would like to use the 130GB of free space I've got to create a new partition and do some development on Unity and Natty.  Can I use gparted to do this?  If so how?

I am a novice linux/Ubuntu user who is just discovering the joys of a lightweight, free software environment which gives control to the user.   To protect some of my data (photos) from the rigours of OS crashes/reinstallation etc. I have created a small storage partition on my primary hard disk using gparted at /dev/sda3 using the ext4 filesystem.   On startup the partition auto-mounts to /media/chris/photo storage. I can see the drive at this location, and in the Unity launcher.   The only problem is I have no permissions to use the 'drive' and hence cannot copy files into it, add folders or in fact do anything in the storage area. My question is how to I give myself permissions within my normal Ubuntu account to use it?  Best Regards,   Chris

I've been migrating my system from btrfs to ext4 after running into performance issues with VMs. I have two hard drives in my laptop to work with. I've successfully moved my home partition, but the same steps I used aren't working for root.  Progress so far:  I've dd'd my root partition from /dev/sda3 into /dev/sdb3. I modified /etc/fstab to the following:  $ cat /etc/fstab #  # /etc/fstab: static file system information # # &lt;file system&gt; &lt;dir&gt;   &lt;type&gt;  &lt;options&gt;       &lt;dump&gt;  &lt;pass&gt; # UUID=95f13c34-96ca-49e3-bcb2-ff594df31506 /dev/sdb3               /               btrfs           rw,noatime,ssd,space_cache,discard      0 0  # UUID=0fe04f59-599f-41e2-ac30-2ad0f17a9727 /dev/sda2               /boot           ext2            rw,relatime     0 2  # UUID=44741e0f-924a-4841-80ef-2132bef84182 /dev/sda4               /home           ext4            rw,noatime,discard      0 0   and run sudo mkinitcpio -p linux. It seems to work. I'm able to boot by mounting the partition on the second disk. df shows:  $ df Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdb3        28G   18G  9.8G  65% /   So, clearly, sdb3 is mounted, not sda3. Here's the problematic step: When I try to format sda3, which is supposedly unused, I get the following:  $ sudo mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3 [sudo] password for stew:  mke2fs 1.42.11 (09-Jul-2014) /dev/sda3 contains a btrfs file system Proceed anyway? (y,n) y /dev/sda3 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!   sda3 is in use. How and why could it possibly be in use?  As per casey's comment, the output of mount:  mount | grep sd /dev/sdb3 on / type btrfs (rw,noatime,ssd,discard,space_cache) /dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,data=ordered) /dev/sda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime)   As per Warwick's comment, unmounting:  $ sudo umount /dev/sda3 umount: /dev/sda3: not mounted   Mounting and umounting sda3 elsewhere works successfully, but changes nothing.  Update: More fishy behavior:  $ mount | grep sd /dev/sdb3 on / type btrfs (rw,noatime,ssd,discard,space_cache) /dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,data=ordered) /dev/sda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime) $ sudo mount /dev/sda3 mnt [sudo] password for stew:  $ mount | grep sd /dev/sda3 on / type btrfs (rw,noatime,ssd,discard,space_cache) /dev/sda4 on /home type ext4 (rw,noatime,discard,data=ordered) /dev/sda2 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime) /dev/sda3 on /home/stew/mnt type btrfs (rw,relatime,ssd,discard,space_cache)   After mounting sda3, sdb3 is no longer mounter. Weird, huh?  As per mikeserv:  $ rmmod btrfs rmmod: ERROR: Module btrfs is in use   This is very much expected, since sdb3 is btrfs and supposed to be mounted to root. From my mkinitcpio.conf file:  MODULES="" HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"

I'm fighting the 'too small /boot partition' problem, and it looks like I'm going to have to either re-partition or install a larger drive (AND re-partition?). I keep seeing warnings that I should be sure to "back up important files," but excuse my ignorance -- what are "important files"? Incidentally, I have about $200 worth of Ubuntu books that don't explain this, or even what to back up when you back up. Sigh.  Specifically:   Back up the /home directory. However, without using sudo, this fails to backup about five files (for example, a 'lock' file). Am I ok, or do I need to use sudo? I suspect I should back up /etc. With sudo? Where are the files for things like games and apps? Do I need to back them up? If I'm doing a "clean install," is there any point to backing up the whole frickin' drive? If I'm going to repartition /boot, what should I back up before I do that? If I back up the drive, repartition, and then restore the backup, will it "restore" the old /boot partition?   Inquiring minds are flummoxed.

The main question is how to make space in root (/). After this I want to resize the root partition, this topic can be found on:  or elsewhere.  I'm a little bit confused. No command seems to work for there is no space. I tried some random easy-way solutions but the problem persists. Here is the description of what I did:  1) It started giving me advices of “Little space on root, try uninstall software”  2) I removed some, and the Software Update continued working.  3) Eventually the root filled and now and for over two weeks the update software isn't working. I forced to upgrade with sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade and not working. It gives me this message (auxiliar repositories):    4) At some point I tried to do some random reading on forums and enter command like this: sudo apt-get clean  and gave me a file in: /var/cache/apt/archives/lock.txt and problems with dependencies, repositories and dpkg.  5) When I run sudo apt-get -f install this is the current exit:  $$$$$$$$:~$ sudo apt-get -f install [sudo] password for $$$$:  Leyendo lista de paquetes...

I don't remember how but I entered two commands that told me how much used/total space I had, noting it was full.  7) And now when I try to not mess with commands I don't really know (late), trying to uninstall software gives me this exit:  $$$$$$$$$:~$ sudo apt-get --purge remove openshot [sudo] password for $$$$: Leyendo lista de paquetes...

I have installed programs not found on Software Center and took me some time and effort, I would like not to format or reinstall Ubuntu if possible. Thanks in advance.

There are many questions on automatically mounting or problems encountered during mounting that I've read here. But none on how to manually mount a partition.

I just noticed that the root partition of my not-so-long-ago configured server is only 5gb  thats not much seeing as i allready use 4gb and still need to install a lot of things...  i was foolish enough to use the default config from OVH assuming they know their stuff :P  since i have some data on the data partition it would be a pain in the ... to backup and reconfigure it all  is it possible to repartition the drive to use a new part of the drive say 15-20gb without data loss ? by simply copying the root partition to a new place (from sda2) ? i can live with loosing the 5gb of the start of the drive :P    heres df -h  Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1             5.0G  3.9G  897M  82% / tmpfs                 998M     0  998M   0% /lib/init/rw udev                   10M  144K  9.9M   2% /dev tmpfs                 998M     0  998M   0% /dev/shm /dev/sda2             226G  7.2G  208G   4% /home   and fdisk -l  Disk /dev/sda: 250.1 GB, 250059350016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes Disk identifier: 0x0000db26     Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System /dev/sda1   *           1         653     5242880+  83  Linux Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.    &lt;== now this is bad.. thx OVH :F /dev/sda2             653       30336   238426112   83  Linux /dev/sda3           30336       30401      526016   82  Linux swap / Solaris

I'm trying to install steam games onto my Data partition (NTFS formatted since I use that partition as a bridge for the few times I have to use windows).  I do not want it in my home folder since it is starting to get a bit full (I only have 16 gb of space left)  I tried  but apparently that doesn't work anymore.  I tried setting the library folder on the Data partition but I just get the response: "New Steam library folder must be on a filesystem mounted with execute permissions."  I usually mount my Data partition using the launcher mount option unity brings with it (just click on the drive on the side bar). I don't really want to change that.  So how can I mount my drives with executive permissions using the launcher icons??

Do you know if there is an Ubuntu program (possibly a Nautilus plugin) to transfer files from/to an Android device?  What is my mind is a program which does adb push, adb pull, and adb shell ls in the background and has a GUI.  Note that ADB allows for broader filesystem access than MTP and UMS.

I want to install Steam for Linux. As I have only 256gb SSD and not enough space for games, I'd like to install it (and all it's games) to a USB3 flash drive.  How to do that? Preferably using sudo apt-get install ****. Haven't find a way to specify the installation location.

On my RT-N56U router I'm trying to create a ext3 partition on an attached usb drive to store my media center data. The problem is I am unable to create to a mount point after creating the partition. When I run this command: mkdir /media/AiDisk_a1, it says it can't do it because file system is read only. This is probably because it's the in memory router OS. How can I mount my ext3 partition to /media/AiDisk_a1?  Also, is there a way in Linux to create a mount point without having write access to the main OS volume?
