maybe its that I'm an engineer at heart or maybe its that I'm just plain curious, but I never 'just accept' anything.
But most computer users do. And I, even being an engineer, when installing something new and don't know much about it, I accept that the defaults are sensible. I may spend the time to find out more, or just go ahead with defaults, and i will learn as I go.
The most frequent problem is the root partition filling up,
That has always been the case. Its why I use LVM In the limiting case, if my hard drive fills up totally, LVM will let me extend onto another drive :-)
No, that's not what happens with btrfs. Of course you can add more space when using LVM. But you do know that most people don't use LVM. I don't, for instance.
and the traditional advice to solve this doesn't work.
What 'traditional' advice are you talking about?
Look in /tmp, and /var/log. Find out their sizes. If there are files too big, delete them. With btrfs, you have to check the snapshots as well. And tools like df may not tell the whole truth. You have to use new commands specific for btrfs. - -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
