How can I increase the storage capacity in Linux for installing Oracle 11g?

Hi all,
I've been searching in Internet information about how to increase the storage capacity of a Linux machine, so that it can help me with my problem without success. I tried to execute some command lines encountered in some tips in forums, but no one works.
I want to install an Oracle 11g database, which needs 4 GB minimal for the installation. I can not continue with the installation because of this problem.
I use a VMWare virtual machine, which I increased over its settings to 160 GB, but not its file systems or whatever in the machine.
I did this:
[root@localhost ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 18G 15G 1.9G 89% /
/dev/sda1 190M 12M 169M 7% /boot
none 506M 0 506M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdc 699M 0 699M 100% /media/cdrom
As far I understand the bigger storage capacity is used by the file system /dev/sda3. But what about the rest, I mean the 140 GB?. I've already increased the storage capacity over the settings. How can I tell the machine "please use the remaining 140 GB for the installation of the Oracle DB and other needed installations?.
How can I increase here what?. Disk? File system? Volume Group? It can not be so difficult, can it?
There are no volume groups in the machine:
+[root@localhost /]# vgdisplay+
+No volume groups found+
Linux is too complicated. Unfortunately I have to do that in Linux :-(
Can someone help me? I sit here since long hours without finding a solution :-(

thanks for your answers.
To Dude:
You can address the problem in a number of different ways, but please post your version of Linux and provide more information about your current partitions
The Version of Linux is Linux Red Hat Enterprise 5.
Open Logical Volume Management from the System Administration menu.
Select your volume from the logical view, edit properties and then use the slider to set your volume size, or click "remaining" to extend your partition.
I've already opened the LVM from the System Administration menu, but there is no possibility to see the volume groups, because there is no one. There is no tabs like Volume Groups or something like that...
I would try the procedure described above your answer and write you again. I hope it works...I will write you back in a few minutes...

How can I increase my storage capacity on my macbook air

How can I increase the storage capacity of my macbook air?

Oh I know you were implying archival backup software. I was just throwing in the "on the cheap" archive option.
Back when I worked at a large unnamed institution things got archived to the power of 10 at multiple locations, the mere notion of "losing anything" was an impossibility short of a black hole opening up on earth. Even the archival managers thought it was insane redundancy, but thats the way it was.
I work off that same premise myself. I cant lose 20+ years of work.
I coined this term about 11 years ago.
Decentralized Omnipresent Data (D.O.D.)
Backing up data to:
Multiple HD in multiple locations
On multiple servers on multiple continents, private and public websites, anonymous data farms. (very easy actually)
Burned onto archival optical and magnetic storage
Have unclassified data possessed by multiple people in multiples places.
When your data becomes both everywhere and nowhere, accessible to all, destructible by none, cannot be collected together or permanently retrieved under any circumstances, you have Decentralized Omnipresent Data (D.O.D.) protection rivaling that of large governments.

Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. How can I increase the storage space?

Question
Emails sent to me are sometime returned to the sender with the message "Inbox full" even though I have maybe less than 100 emails in the Inbox and I regularly compact them. I delete emails from the Inbox and the Sent and Trash boxes to overcome this. How can I increase the storage space to stop this happening?

Hi terrybohle1938,
Firefox is a web browser. It provides access to online content. Things like your email are handled by the content provider. Who is your email provider? You'll have better luck consulting their documentation.
That being said, deleting only email is a great way to free up space. Another option would be to purchase a "Premium" account if your email provider offers this service. Many times more storage space is offered as part of paid subscription.
Hopefully this helps!

HT6162 I can't upload ios7 bc I don't have enough storage space, how can I increase the storage space w/o paying more money

How can I increase my storage. I have been trying to upload the latest iOS & can't bc I don't have enough room & I really don't have a lot of apps.

You cannot increase your storage capacity at all.
You can remove content from your iphone or you can update via itunes on your computer.

How can I increase the font size of just one paragraph?

I am using Dreamweaver CS4. I want to increase the font size and style of just one paragraph, but the "page properties" changes the font size for the whole page. In this regard: how can I increase the font size (and style) for just one word. Thank you, Mr. Monroe

How do I get to “CSS Properties”? Do I click on Window > CSS Styles?
When I click on Window > CSS Styles, I do not see the text “Custom Class.”
I tried inserting (manually) the HTML code you suggested for the paragraph I want to change and nothing happened. I tried [<span class=”16px”>text came in here</span)]
I read in a tutorial that after you create a CSS style sheet, all you have to do is select the text you want to apply it to and then attach the style sheet to that text. I can imagine, however, that there are some special steps that one has to perform in order to do this.
Thanks for your help.
Mr. Monroe

How can i increase the capacity of a window disk in parallels

how can I increase the capacity of a window disk in Parallels

Look in the Parallels help menus in Parallels or on the Parallels site. Your question has nothing to do with Windows compatibility.
Once you get to the the proper menu item settings you will have a slider to increase/decrease the size. Just move the slider in the direction to increase.

How can I increase the file size limit for outgoing mail. I need to send a file that is 50MB?

You can't change it, and I suspect few email providers would allow a file that big. Consider uploading it to a service like Dropbox, then email the link allowing the recipient to download it.

How can I increase the number of R3trans in the SHADOW_IMPORT_INC ?

Hello ,
we have a problem with ehp installation . The Prepare Phase for EHP4 have we start on monday . But we have closed development on Thursday and now the SHADOW_IMPORT_INC is to slow.
How can I increase the number of R3trans in SHADOW_IMPORT__INC Phase ? We have opened a servicecall with prio high but sap does not answer.
Regards

Hi Daniel,
What database are you working on ?? Make sure stats are updated. This phase has lot to do on the DB part. So analyse more from DB perspective.
Most important thing is check if you are using parallel import property of R3trans as per SAPnote # 1127194.
Best Regards
Niraj

How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?

How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?
We use Windows 7 64bit computers and Dell High Density UltraSharp UP2414Q monitors with a resolution of 3840 x 2160.
Other applications in Adobe CC 2014 work fine with this high resolution (Indesign, Photoshop) but I can't find where to adjust font size in Bridge.
Right now menu items are hardly ledgible.

Same problem. Bridge is unusable with this micro font and no way to change it.
I would call tech support but I don't feel like being on hold for two hours to talk to someone Adobe pays pennies a day in a loud call center who won't be able to help anyway. Fail.

How can I increase the hard limit of the stack size?

Hi,
My process gives an error of segmentation fault (SIGSEGV) that is caused because the stack limit is reached. I have a doubt about how to increase the stack size. I have tried change it with "ulimit - hard" but this size is 65532kb, and is very low for my process. How can I increase the hard limit?
Thanks.

When last I checked, the kernel had a fixed stack size limit.
Do you have the source code to this application? If so, [see this Tiger stack size article|http://homepage.mac.com/eric.c/hpc/contents/documentation/How%20to%20in crease%20the%20stack%20size%20on%20Mac%20OS%20X.pdf], and specifically have a look at the +ld -stack_size+ mechanism; rebuild the code with a bigger limit.
Entirely FWIW, this question would be more typical over in the developer forums or maybe in the Unix forum if you don't have Apple developer access. Better audience for application development and for software-related questions over there.
