Ordering a 64GB SSD will give you a lot more space.
I have a 500GB SSD and root is taking 5.2GB.
I'm not quite certain about your /boot partition, it seems to be part of /.
From the size of the partitions
sda9 5.5GB /home
sda8 365MB /tmp
sda7 ?MB swap
sda6 2.5GB /var
sda5 5.3GB /usr
sda1 ?GB /
Before resizing I'd like to be clear about how much free space and if /dev/sda2 is required or can be reclaimed.
/ can't be very big and the error seems to be not enough space. I suggest checking how many images you have installed
Code: Select all
ls -l /boot/
If you can reclaim /dev/sda2 to increase /, then you can do that. From my experience, partitioning a small disk is more likely to lead to this sort of disk space problem.
An easier way would probably be to backup your data, do a fresh install on the 64GB disk, think carefully about the partitioning before you do the installation, then restore your data.
