Hi.
Looks like you've installed your server with sme multipart option. This option will create different LVM logical volume for the following partition: / /tmp /var and /home/e-smith/files. When using this option, all your disk is not used, in order to let the admin put place where he needs. Here are some quick steps to add unused space to /home/e-smith/files (it's an example, and is valid for the other partition as well):
First, you need to check the name of the LVM logical volume your file system is on:
[root@sme ~]# mount | grep '/home/e-smith/files'
/dev/mapper/main-files on /home/e-smith/files type ext3 (rw,usrquota,grpquota,acl)
Here, the FS is on /dev/mapper/main-files. Now, we need to see how much space is available in our LVM volume group (the volume group is main):
[root@sas ~]# vgdisplay main | egrep 'Free.*PE'
Free PE / Size 2248 / 70,25 GB
[root@sas ~]#
In this example, there's 70Go unallocated. So, lets add 50Go to /home/e-smith/files.
[root@sas ~]# lvextend -L+50G main/files
Now that the block device is extended, you also need to extend the file system. This can be done online using resize2fs (or ext2online on SME 7):
[root@sas ~]# resize2fs /home/e-smith/files
Now you can see that your FS is 50GB larger than before. And (thanks to LVM), everything has been done online, without any interruption.
