Move high-usage directories onto /home. At one point I needed space on my /usr partition, so I moved 'share' to /home/share and put a softlink in /usr to point to /home/share. A couple of largish SW packages wanted to store large things in /var/lib -- things like "docker", "libvirt" and virtualBox wanted to put their VM's in /var/lib. They are on /home/docker (w/symlink in /var/lib), /home/VMs/libvirt and /home/Virtual Machines/VirtualBox VMs, respectively. Some software doesn't like symlinks. In which case, use mount w/the bind option to mount a dir (like from /home/dirname) somewhere else (like at /var/lib/dirname), with something like: /home/dirname /var/lib/dirname none rbind 0 0 in your fstab. Anyway -- that's how I dealt with a similar prob. Cheers! -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
