I can give you my reason. I like to see the difference in different levels of
installs and have (more than once) bothched my install or

I guess I'm the sys admin and since I don't know anything, it was
time to panic.
Is it safe to delete most everything in the /tmp directorys?
And what else is safe to delete to free up space?
This is what I have:
/dev/hda5 3.4G 2.7G 525M 84% /

/dev/hda1 19G 6.4G 13G 33% /mnt/windows

Your best bet is to reinstall. Next time giving / a lot more
space, and /home a lot less. OR, just avoid the issue altogether and
I'd have to disagree. Look at the df report - she only has 3% used in
/home. Sure, home could be lessened but I don't think that's the issue here.

You can set things so that /tmp is cleaned out everytime you boot up. Thats
what I do...

Yeah, did you ring yourself up? :)
Yea. And therein lies the problem. The sys admin, aka I, didn't know
what I was doing. It was when I found
to have filled up your root partition. All the better to have /var off by
itself on another partitiion somewhere. Normally, of course, that shouldn't
happen; something must have caused a runaway log. For 'regular' workstations
those logs should be only a few megs apiece.
They were except for
But you took this further yet? So how many partitions would be
reasonably possible?
The last system I installed on was a server, 3 sep. IDE hard drives, which
had a combined total of 46.4 GB worth of space.
I partitioned the 6.4 GB as a system drive (/, /var, /tmp, /usr, and swap)

Hi All
Might sound like a trivial question (and most prob is!)... but if on windows
I want to know how big each partition is and how much space i have left and
have used etc it's easy... how can I do this in linux... I installed LM8.1
and took the default partitioning (if memory serves it was a
do a 'df -h' which will tell you how large each partition is, how much
you've used, how much is available for use, and what percent of the
partition is being used. If any % is higher than about 75-80%, it's
usually time to take a look to see where you can free up some room.

Michael, et al: Just a tidbit of info (as in - suggestion), that I follow
all the time. When installing Mandrake (for a workstation or stand-alone PC),
on a large drive, I'd like to suggest that you break your /home partition
into 2 partitions. Typically, DiskDrake will setup 3 partitions
to find Space on HD?

Hey Michael; Actually, I meant to send the email to the person to whom you
were responding as well. Nice to see I'm not the only Common Sense person
here! I imagine that most folks on the list are! After all, Linux is based
