Listmates,
I am running out of space on /. During my last software update, yast gave me the error "Running out of Space" Continue? Yes/No. So as a temporary fix, I moved /var/cache/zypp/packages to /home/packages and softlinked it. This is a good temporary fix, but what I need to do is shrink /home and grow / by 10G. I have 374G of free space on /home, so space isn't a problem.
My plan is just to boot from the gparted iso and shrink /home by 10 and then grow / by 10.
I have a couple of questions. First, how dicey is it to shrink home? Second, is there a better tool to use besides gparted? My real concern is corrupting /home during the shrink. I have the 'fdisk -l' information in case the shrink goes bad, but is there any additional precautionary steps I should take? (I have backups)
Have you checked your temp directory /temp. In OS 11.2 you have to configure the cleaning of this directory in yast. yast -> system on the left side-> Editor for /etc/configure right side-> left side -> system /cron clear?tmp?dirs at boot kind regards Pete -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
