Run "du -h /" on your sda3 and skim over the output. Watch out for directory trees that contain many GB. Is that usage expected? Especially examine /var. Try to find any runtime files (e.g. in cache directories other than Yum's) where you may want to clean up manually. > I've never used gparted before but so far have managed to shrink the > largest partition 20+ GB.

An old-school way is to use a so-called "bind mount", i.e. mount a _directory_ stored on another partition on /var/cache/yum. In /etc/fstab an entry for that could be added, too. Example: /home/storage/yumcache /var/cache/yum auto bind 0 0 Since your /home dir has enough free space. ;) Don't forget to remove stuff in /var/cache/yum prior to mounting. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
