So am I. /dev/mapper/vg-data: LABEL="data" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mapper/vg-home: LABEL="home" TYPE="ext4" /dev/mapper/vg-root: LABEL="arch" TYPE="ext4" /dev/nvme0n1p1: SEC_TYPE="msdos" LABEL_FATBOOT="efi" LABEL="efi" TYPE="vfat" /dev/nvme0n1p3: LABEL="windows" TYPE="ntfs" (abbreviated for clarity) > Could the file system make a difference if you use something else? Your > root and /home is getting a little full. o_O Root has always been kinda full. I tend to size it according to real-world need, so I have more usable space where it’s actually needed. This habit stems back to when I had a 120 GB hard drive in my laptop 20 years ago. But LVM came in handy here; I’ve embiggened / at least twice by now. Home doesn’t grow very fast, mostly “temp” photo downloads and Mail. I can actually look that up thanks to my borg snapshots and the file listings¹ I keep around for precicely such look-ups so I don’t have to actually attach the backup disk. ^^ From the first Borg snapshot onwards (dated June 2021), it’s been growing by about 5 ± 1 GB/year. I’ve long been pondering merging the home and data partition, as there is an arbitrary separation of which photos I store where. That separation has an historical reason, too: back when I had my first SSD (120 GB), it was too small for anything but Winblows and / (then still Gentoo). Later, on a 512 GB SSD, I added home and a large Windows games partition to it, but still had the 1 TB data partition on a hard drive. Home became too small for my photos, so I started a new hierarchy in /mnt/data, but without migration the existing digikam collection from /home. Big mistake. Nowadays it’s 2 TB solid state in both laptop and PC. But merging the partition content would mean I need to reorganise my Borg backups, too. > I didn't put anything OS related on LVM this time.

While / does grow over time as packages get bigger, I never saw a reason to keep it much larger than necessary, especially as storage space was tight back in the days due to budget problems. ¹ from my tree wrapper script. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network.
