I have a laptop with a 640 HDD and a 20GB SSD. I have installed the OS in the SSD and want to use the HDD to store large files like software, pictures, videos, etc.
I installed VirtualBox, but after a few minutes I receive an error message telling me there is not enough space on the disk.
This is the output from df
:
