I recently installed Redhat on an old P2 laptop. It works like a champ and i am extremely pleased. However the laptop only comes with 2.5 GB of hard drive space. Using the system over the last couple of weeks has the drive at 60% of its capacity. Thats making me anxious that someday i will have to deal with space issues. I was successfully able to map a Windows file system from another machine on my network via Samba on /mnt. I have always wondered if i can mount this additional windows file system on / (root) rather than a sub directory of /. That way i can add virtual hard drive space to that Linux box. In fact i tried doing this once but was unsuccessful with a message saying the device/resource was busy. Any ideas on how i can get around this problem? I have thought about symblins from the linux file system directories to the samba share, what other options can i explore? If i install an external hard drive will that add space to my / (root) file system? A df on my machine reveals the following: Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 2885216 1622088 1116568 60% / /dev/hda1 50723 5967 42137 13% /boot none 47188 0 47188 0% /dev/shm
