Err, I don't follow. How does mounting /var fill up the root partition?
If you take /var off its own partition and put it on /, then it will
fill up / instead of /var. Filling up /var, not the end of the world.
Filling up / is a bad thing.
BTW, I have /var on its own partition. This moving things to / and not
being able to have /usr, /var and such makes me really nervous. I have
about double the needed space on /var and I still have had it fill up
not once but several times. Think OOo build here. If /var didn't have
its own partition, I would have had a crashed system and would have had
to use a another bootable medium to clean out some stuff so it would
boot again. I'm just glad I am setting at my system. If it was remote,
I would be VERY pissed at whoever started this / only stuff.
I guess next /home will have to be on / too. Since everything else is
moving that way, why not. May as well lose everything and be done with
it. Right?
Just a users point of view. A long time Gentoo user I might add. I
still have my 1.4 CD.
