Decided last night to clean up and rearrange drives. I've been using /home for all kinds of storage -- mp3, ogg, local copy of hosted web site, etc. Ended up having to move 22G of files and put /home on its own 40G drive. Don't feel like re-partitioning so now I'm using the extra space in / for things like /tmp and /var/cache/apt. My current drive mess looks like this: Filesystem Type Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hdc7 ext3 27G 898M 25G 4% / /dev/hdc3 ext3 9.2G 4.8G 4.0G 55% /debian /dev/hdc1 ext3 19M 4.7M 13M 27% /boot /dev/hdc5 ext3 14G 6.4G 6.7G 49% /usr /dev/hdc6 ext3 4.6G 246M 4.2G 6% /var /dev/sda1 ext3 17G 33M 17G 1% /scsi /dev/hda2 ext3 28G 15G 12G 58% /mp3.mov /dev/hdb1 ext3 37G 22G 14G 62% /home hda is 40G, hdb is 30G, hdc is 60G, and sda is 18G. Still have some re-arranging to do, just haven't decided what to move where. I like having most of my free space in one area. With these drives I suppose I should go to LVM -- does it allow free space to be concatenated across physical drives? Gotta figure out what the heck is sucking up /var too since I have /var/cache/apt sitting elsewhere.
