Moving the Ubuntu Partition Over SSH
I accidentally installed Hardy on a 8 gig partition, and didn't realize the size was so small until I left the state for 3 months. How can I increase the partition size so that I don't have to worry about filling the hard drive with my MySQL database? (see system information below) All other partitions are forfeit. I need a near 100% certain method for booting into a larger partition without local access to a CD drive, keyboard, etc. Any advice?
