Thanks so much everyone for all the help and commentary! I managed to move /usr to a new partition following Carlos's instructions and for the most part all seems not bad although there is one anomaly that is occurring in the new version of my system. Launching Konsole from the KDE application menu launcher is taking an extraordinarily long time (3 to 5 minutes) before the Konsole window appears. But if I launch it from a command line, the window appears almost immediately. So far this is the only oddity I have noticed and launching any other KDE application seems to work just fine with windows appearing quickly. Only Konsole and the Terminal Super User Mode, when launched from the KDE application menu takes so long to respond. Weird!
Weird. Maybe a broken link :-?
Anton - I really appreciated all your deep IN-Depth knowledge about /usr and I will incorporate some of your suggestions in breaking up /usr into separate partitions shortly. In particular /usr/share sounds like a good idea and it is almost 3GB.
You don't need to fragment it further, there is seldom a good reason for that.
/usr/lib64 is the other big hog and seems
That's a directory that is needed early, I would not touch it. Moving /usr because you need more space on "/" is a fair reason, but fragmenting it further is not necesary, unless your /usr also fills up. Separating /usr/local may have a different reason, namely protecting it from being formatted on upgrades. Another reason is splitting filesystems to different disks because it may speed up access. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
