My Linux (Mint 13) laptop reported that 'The volume "Fiilesystem root" has only 0 bytes disk space remaining'. When I ran a 'df' I got the following result:-

HP-255-G1-Notebook-PC # df
Filesystem     1K-blocks     Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2       28836860 27372200         0 100% /

/dev/sda3      692800400 68383328 589741516  11% /home
overflow            1024       16      1008   2% /tmp

I suspect that the system was originally configured with insufficient space on /dev/sda2. Is it possible to reconfigure this without doing a complete reinstall?

Thank you.

Yes it is possible to change partitioning under any of GNU/Linux OS with gparted without reintstalling the OS. You will need to download from gpated web site Live CD/USB image, make a bootable media with it and load machine from there. If you have enough free space before or after the partition you can easily resize it in particular enlarge. Save any precious data before.
