Hello, guys.
I installed Fedora 19 XFCE spin about 2 weeks ago. I see that when I run gparted, I have unallocated space of 35.35GB. Can I create a new partition here and use the space?
Attached is a screenshot of what I'm talking about. https://ask.fedoraproject.org/upfiles/1381561206264268.png (image description)
You can create a new partition by using fdisk and mkfs.
List your disks to identify the disk to use
fdisk -l
Create or modify the partition (x needs to be replaced). Use "m" for help with the options.
fdisk /dev/sdx
Format the disk (x and y need to be replaced)
mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdxy
In Gnome 3 you can also use the graphical utility gnome-disks (Disks).
I don't know if there is a similar utility available in XFCE.
I had a look at your screen-shot, the free space is definitely usable. You can create a new partition or add it to your LVM volume to extend existing partitions.
