Recently installed 10.2 on a new hard drive. Triple boot all on their own harddrives.
I gave 10.2 a 3GB partition for /
I also made separate partitions for /tmp, /var, and /home, each 10GB in size. I went to update 10.2 and was warned that the / partition is 97% full.
How can that be? Does everthing on the DVD install into / ??
Now, do I have to reinstall 10.2 after making the / partition much larger ?? Some please explain what the problem is here. Please ??
Known "feature". Simple get to one of the terminals, and manually mount the missing partitions. Use "mount" and "df" to see what is mounted and where, then mount whatever is needed, manually. I assume that you haven't installed yet 10.2 and you are waiting at the dvd install/upgrade screen. Or... no, hold on, you are asking something different. You have already installed, giving 3GB for /, and extra partitions for /tmp, /var, and /home, and now you see that / is almost full... obviously. Most of the stuff goes under /usr and /opt, which in your case goes to /. Well, you could substitute /var with /usr, but /var can also be big. There is a chapter in the admin book about proper partitioning for systems, you should read it. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
