I would like to split a currently used partition that is mounted to /usr
directory. I did this because / only had 1 gb of data allocated to it. Now, I did not account for the /home directory when I made this partition (or I would have made two partitions). So I have 14 gb mounted to usr/ with 12 gb free. Is there a way I can reclaim the free space on this partition to make another partition to mount to /home?
Here is the result of a df -h
:
I have tried to split the /dev/mmcblk1p4
into 2 different partitions but I was not able to save the partition table correctly.
