Run du -sh
on /usr
and /root
to see if your /root
is not filled with some useless files or if on /usr
you can de-install some program you not use.
You can use gParted
to expand your partition, it's safe normaly.
/root
contains 96MB, and/usr
4.6GB (which is not exactly lightweight, but hardly excessive either depending on what software is installed).

Thank you for the quick response. I followed it down the rabbit hole and /usr/local/psa is using 3.2GB is it safe to remove anything within this?
– chris chaney
Mar 25 '13 at 11:57
Apparently/usr/local/psa
is the Plesk directory. Dig into it again. See if you can clear cache or something like with Plesk (don't know it really). Else you can move/usr/local/psa
into/home
but I think you need to do it from a live CD (without launching Plesk).

Hello again Hugo, its split between mainly two folders, cgitory and apspkgarc though I am not familiar with the back end of Plesk to know what they are used for. Alternatively can you recommend a good walkthrough as to how to increase the partition size (and I am assuming shrinking SDA2 to cover the space requirements)? thanks again
– chris chaney
Mar 25 '13 at 12:12
Frem GUI, usegParted
as I said. You just have to drag bound to expand partition. But you need to do this without mounting the partition. So do it from a live cd. Or you can do it from command line like explained for ext3 here.

Please run this command on your terminal
find / -type f -size +500000k -exec ls -lh {} ;
This will list all files greater than 500 MB from root
Check if any .log
files or core dump files are there that you don't need and delete it.
While this is useful information it doesn't really address the question asked by OP about moving the mount or resizing.
