I'm skeptical this is your mistake. The defaults shouldn't readily get you into trouble unless you have a workload that's a distinct edge case.
I believe the default assigns more than 10GB to the root partition.
I don't know whether it's a default or the OP chose it, but not allowing enough space for the root partition has been a classic mistake since long before Linux existed. Hence Anton and others love of LVM since it could cope.
LVM is not relevant at all in this case because even with LVM, XFS being used for /home still means it can't be resized, and therefore a tear down would still be required. I don't have Leap or Tumbleweed installation handy at the moment but anyone testing should supply feedback for the developers. It's really not OK to have such a small root with a large /home that also uses a file system that doesn't support shrink. -- Chris Murphy -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
