[opensuse] Way to limit directory size on SUSE 9.1?
I'm using SLES9 which is based on SUSE 9.1, and I was curious if there was a way I could limit the growth of a directory. I currently have a separate /var partition in case it grows too big, and I was thinking if I could just limit it's size, I could keep /var on the / partition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

What I usually do is to create lvm volumes for such a partitions, leaving some free space on the volume group, so if I need to, I can easily extend it. It is much more flexible than creating partitions.

There are quotas, but I'm unsure if the limit is per directory or per user. In any case, the system will not be happy if it can't write to /var because it is full or over quota. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.

{per-partition,per-user} and {per-partition,per-group}. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

you could write a script and run it with a cronjob, to delete files that are older than 90 days i.e.. I also think there are preconfigured parameter in Yast2-> Sysconf editor(why it's not enabled on default is a riddle for me), at least for me it wasn't set. So my /var/tmp kept growing.
