gparted is not really the right tool.
I used it only to show the partitions; shudda said so. Sorry.
Do you really mean /dev/sda?
That's the whole disk, not a partition and if you have unused space,
that means you aren't using the whole drive.
Probably. The whole subject of partitions seems clear to me till
I try to apply it, and then suddenly all I think I know evaporates. I was
trying to check how much space I had available on the whole machine.
Would mate-disk-usage-analyzer have been better?
The more important
information is what does "df -h / /home /dev/sdb1" show?
$ df -h / /home/dev/sdb2
df: /home/dev/sdb2: No such file or directory
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/fedora-root00 15G 15G 885M 95% /
What does that first slash do? Should I be doing "df -h /"
instead of just "df -h" routinely??
Fwiw, I *think* root has his own partition. Every time I try to
use Anaconda for custom partitioning, I foul up, and end up having to
accept the default. <sigh> But maybe that's convenient now.
Anyway, in case it helps, I also see
$ df -h
df: /run/user/1000/doc: Operation not permitted
