How to install Nagios on CentOS 9 Stream

We have a disk drive in our PC dedicated to all Windows operating system related installations. This drive is usually the C drive.

If you also have the latest Windows 11 operating system installed on the C drive of your PC, then all system updates (and most likely all the software you install) will store all their files in the C drive.

Therefore, it becomes very important to keep this drive free of junk files and have enough storage space in C drive because the more space this drive has, the smoother your Windows 11 operating system will run.

But there are limits on how much space you can add on a disk drive and how many files you can delete.

In this case, the option to extend C drive in Windows 11 may come in handy. Extended drive is a built-in option of Windows operating system provided by Microsoft to its users that allows you to expand the storage space in the created disk drive.

For example, if you wish to extend your C drive storage by 10 GB, then using the drive expansion process you can easily add more space to a specific drive.
