Update: So far the iowait is much lower than it was. Looks to be sticking around 10% now ill keep an eye on things but that might have solved my problem. Now if I can just figure out the missing HDD space.
Treverr,
How do you feel about –
- Install
dumppackage - Make a filesystem dump of the root to an external file system
- SAVE the UUID of your current root partition
- Boot the USB drive again.
- Reformat the / partition, manually specifying the UUID (so everything aligns with your current config)
- RESTORE the backup image to the root.
There are some additional details I’ll give you if this seems like a task you’re up to
(I do it all the time when moving host configurations around but that’s just me)
Hey Chuck,
Sorry for the delay, I had a tonsillectomy and have been recovering from that.
I would be good with doing this, my available space has somehow made its way down to 25GB
Thanks!
