I am trying to copy a huge data file onto the desktop of a user but I am running out of space though there is enough left in logical partition. I am not very familiar with logical partitions but is there a way to change the mounting so that the users don't run out of space while saving huge files

I have included the outputs of the following commands

sudo blkid

  • For the future: Don't use fdisk -l any more, but use parted --list as fdisk is quite limited.
