Output of sudo yum clean all
988 files removed
And now, using Dolphin, I find that the / LV no longer has that
concerning red line, and is showing 5.6 GiB free.
Have I just freed up the space I need? Or did I do no more than remove
the upgrade binaries that were all I had room to store before
everything ran out of space? Just how much space do the dnf upgrade
packages take up for a Fedora 40->41 upgrade?
How would you advise reclaiming some of the space I allocated to /home
without needing to? (The /home partition mostly contains symlinks
referring to directories that I store on /crypt. The /crypt petition
is a 1 TB SDD with plenty of space; that's for data only.)
If I can have a walk-through to manage readjusting between / and /home
without using parted or GParted, somebody could do me a really big
favor. (I already know NOT to use fdisk!)
