You're correct. I misspoke - I meant "/" (in addition to the others I mentioned. "/" filling up is what has caused many an issue. Having /var, /usr and other filesystems fill is usually recoverable without a hard boot. Additionally by putting the other filesystems on their own LVs one can insure "/" itself doesn't run up against cylinders limits. -----Original Message----- From: Ale <[email protected]> On Behalf Of DJPfulio--- via Ale Sent: Friday, January 2, 2026 4:24 PM To: [email protected] Cc: DJPfulio-/[email protected] Subject: Re: [ale] to lvm or not lvm is my dillema On 1/2/26 15:51, Jeff Lightner via Ale wrote: > Having /root fill Let's be very clear. /root and / are NOT the same thing. If /root fills up, meh. I really don't care. If / fills up I may or may not care, depends on which file system my logs and working areas are in. With LVM, I almost always setup separate areas for /var and /tmp and /var/lib so a full / means almost nothing until I patch. As usual, there's no one-size-fits-everyone in Linux. _______________________________________________ Ale mailing list [email protected] https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo _______________________________________________ Ale mailing list [email protected] https://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo/ale See JOBS, ANNOUNCE and SCHOOLS lists at http://mail.ale.org/mailman/listinfo
