I'm trying to install IBM DS Storage Manager 10 on an Ubuntu 12.04 but it seems I doesn't have enough opt space. Below is the screenshot from the required/available disk space:

Is it even possible to resize the /opt? I always thought that a folder could be as big as the amount of free space you have. I have more than enough space on my hard drive (about 190GB) so that shouldn't be a problem.

    did you have a seperate `/opt` partition? – Avinash Raj Feb 04 '14 at 15:13
  • No, just did a default install – Noosrep Feb 04 '14 at 15:14
  • As @AvinashRaj asked very correctly, If you have a separate /opt partition (very rare nowadays) you can resize this partition only. If not, you have to resize the entire root partition. See multiple answers [here](http://askubuntu.com/questions/60431/how-do-i-resize-root-partition), none is detailed explained, but you will get the basic idea. – NickTux Feb 04 '14 at 15:17
  • Hmm, still find it weird to be honest. I have more than enough free space on the partition where opt is located so why should resizing make any difference? – Noosrep Feb 04 '14 at 15:19
  • @TimothyPersoon :=D Yeah well I live in a comma decimal country so these things catch my eye quickly ;) – Rinzwind Feb 04 '14 at 15:33
