The right way is to install a logical volume manager but it's unlikely you've done that on 6.2 or 7.3. The poor man's way is to first start by cleaning up. With your /boot, delete older unused kernel. In particular, look for large unused packages. Typical candidates that I rip out are emacs and tetex although you may be able to kill things like -devel packages. For the 6.2 system, you should look at the rest of the mountpoints. Is /var part of /? If so, move /var/logs to another partition and symlink the logs directory or mount it under a /var/logs mount point. /usr is usually tougher. Cleaning up old stuff usually works. You may consider something like /usr/local and see if you can move that to another partition and either symlink it or mount it under that mount point. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
