Laid out properly, / will never grow. # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/dasda1 388M 168M 200M 46% / /dev/mapper/vg01-home 97M 4.4M 88M 5% /home /dev/mapper/vg01-opt 74M 21M 50M 30% /opt /dev/mapper/vg01-srv 1.2G 1.1G 100M 92% /srv /dev/mapper/vg01-tmp 291M 34M 242M 13% /tmp /dev/mapper/vg01-usr 2.0G 901M 1.1G 45% /usr /dev/mapper/vg01-var 2.0G 608M 1.3G 32% /var Of course the amount of space dedicated to each LV will vary according to specific needs. The fundamental concept is the same, and will (hopefully) be the default on SLES11 if things go as I hope.
