Thread: disk space issue - loop0?


first off - i'm new ubuntu , command lines scare me. please keep simple possible

created dedicated 65gb partition on hdd using windows 7 , i'd installed karmic via wubi on once. working fine, updated kernel , there well-documented issue grub locked me out of os, uninstalled , reinstalled karmic on same partition, again via wubi. installed kernel updates again, time updated grub.

second install works fine, except keeps telling me disk space filling , have 180mb free space. little fishy because it's dedicated 65gb partition , have hardly software installed. checked filesystem through system monitor, turns out there's called /dev/loop0 3.6gb , full. there's /dev/sda5, presume rest of partition, , has 60gb free. sda5 want ubuntu running , apparently isn't, it's running on loop0 instead.

going on , how can loop0 thing out?

is there anyway can install ubuntu onto drive.

i've found loading ubuntu in dual boot situation hardly
worth complications involved when 2nd hd prices being so
low 40-80 gig drives needed ubuntu system.
