I finally configured wvdial and fetchmail properly, and ran updatedb and...BOOM! My / partition is full! I made it 95MB at install, thinking that would be more than enough. I guess I was wrong! My question is: WVDial is the only thing I have installed over and above a full SuSE install, so; Do I have any options other than a re-install? I have plenty of room on /usr and /home, which is what puzzles me about this. Should / fill up so easily? TIA.
You can try this: 1. Use fdisk and create a new partition of the desired size. 2. Mount it under /mnt for now 3. cd / 4. find . -xdev -depth -print | cpio -pdumv /mnt 5. make changes to /mnt/etc/fstab (change /dev/sda# for root fs) 6. make changes to /etc/lilo.conf and /mnt/etc/lilo.conf 7. run lilo 8. reboot I did not test it on linux, but similar thing worked for me on AIX. Just in case have a backup handy (-; -alexm - To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e Check out the SuSE-FAQ at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A">http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/</A</A>> and the archiv at <A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html"><A HREF="http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A">http://www.suse.com/Mailinglists/suse-linux-e/index.html</A</A>>
