I have long had my own extra var-type dir, which i call '/z' (it started out as "all the otherwise unassigned space on the disk"). Currently, it has 20 GB , of which 8 GB are used, all temporary stuff, none of it for anything of lasting value. That's where I do all my heavy-lifting, eg ISOs, testing packed archives & esp /z/tmp , which is my Portage tempdir. In your set-up, you might consider mounting /dev/sda8 as a similar big dir. That would avoid all the problems of changing existing dir sizes & also any need to alter LVM. -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
