Hey Everyone,

So when I initially installed my proxmox I apparently made the root disk a little small at around 6GB. I'm looking to upgrade it to 7 and I see that it says to have a min of 4GB of free space. I have 3GB of free right now. I'm trying to squeeze another 1GB out but I'm not sure where else I can bleed from. The dist-upgrade says that it will take up an additional 1GB of free space still leaving me some freespace on the disk. I will look in the future at getting a new box and installing proxmox to it and then migrating all of my stuff over to it but for now thats not really an option. Thanks for your help with this.
 
You could backup the disk using clonezilla (complete blocklevel copy) and just try if it works. If not you can then restore the backup.
