Belenos 7.0 partition set up issues

I think 20 GB should be a pretty decent sized root. Please show the output ofdf -h

I believe the default setting is to preserve all downloaded packages in the APT cache, you might want to get rid of those. Ditto old kernels.

And if you require even more space, do the partitioning yourself.

20GB is a good sized root. It would seem when installing however, all of the files /home /tmp etc are all put on this 20GB partition.

That means when saving files, it saves it to the root partition. As far as I can tell the rest of the partitions are not accessed at all by my computer.

Strange, no? Never had this issue until the latest linux kernel upgrade.

I usually partition myself, usinb the 'something else' option on the gui installer, and have plenty of space. On this laptop, I made a 32-gb root file system, a 3 gb swap space, and the rest for '/home/ it's plenty.

Maybe you could have the same problem that I had

I've solved it avoiding the use of the automatic partition tool, beside I've chosen the manual partitioning of the hard drive and this path solved the issue, try it ;)

Hello,

I've been using Trisquel for several years now.

I've noticed since upgrades to Belenos 7.0, fresh installs on laptop don't
seem to partition the disk right or something?

It would seem that each install loads a very small space for files, so I run
out of hard drive space quickly. See the attached pic.

When I am installing I suggest using the whole drive as one partition. But
yet by the picture, you can see how the install process partitioned my drive.

I can't seem to save files to other mysterious partitions on my drive and
thus I run out of space quickly. It's really started to be a problem on all
laptops I've installed 7.0 on.

Any thoughts?
