Moving / directory in linux
I installed ubuntu with dual boot alongside Windows 8. While partitioning I allocated 9.8 GB to the root directory of linux(I am new to linux,so correct me if I am wrong, by root directory i mean the folder where /bin,/opt,/etc directories are stored).Now i am short on space with only 700MB space remaining in this root directory. I cannot delete this OS because i have important application and files which run only on the Linux environment. Is there any way i can shift the root directory to another partition(I have an empty 18GB partition /dev/sda12 ) or increase the partition size?
