I don't use LVM because I try to limit layers of complexity. So what I<br>
do is when a directory under /home/slitt gets too big, I use a bind<br>
mount to host that particular directory. Bind mounts are great because<br>
they (appear to) grow as the total bytes in the directory grows.<br>
<br>
I think next time I full-reinstall my computer, I'll have a huge<br>
partition dedicated to providing space for bind mounts. The following<br>
/etc/fstab entry is how I made sure that gnome-boxes images didn't swamp<br>
my /home/slitt partition:<br>
<br>
/scratch/gnome-boxes /home/slitt/.local/share/gnome-boxes none bind 0 0<br>
