Above is terminal output. I realize that I can not down load files because of the low space on /dev/loop0. But, I do not know how to fix. Would like to use part of /dev/sda5, and /dev/sda3 is Windows 7; /dev/sdc1 is an ext. HD.

  • You should add a small description of what you have running there, especially details about the loop partition. The output of sudo losetup -a would certainly be helpful.

  • $ sudo losetup -a [sudo] password for owner: /dev/loop0: [0805]:81 (/host/ubuntu/disks/root.disk) $ By the way what does this do? Aug 9, 2012 at 14:39

I think you are running Ubuntu with wubi. Is that true?

If so, please refer to How can I check how much space there is left on WUBI versus how much space it takes on my HDD? for information about what you can do when you are short on space.

There's a link on that question to the wubi guide here.

For resizing the space available you should refer to this.

  • wubi not sure. How to check for it? Aug 9, 2012 at 17:12
  • I went to the "How can I check how..." page, Ran: sudo apt-get autoremove sudo apt-get autoclean and Ran: gksu baobab and the other commmand line commands. Aug 9, 2012 at 18:38
  • Were you able to free up some space? re: wubi. It doesn't look like you booted from an Ubuntu Live CD or memory stick to install Ubuntu. Did you install Ubuntu by downloading and executing the wubi program to install Ubuntu while executing Windows? Aug 9, 2012 at 18:39

  • I've added a couple of links to my answer that may help. It would be best if you could mention what you have now done to your queston along with the new size numbers. Aug 9, 2012 at 18:54
