I don't use LVM because I try to limit layers of complexity. So what I do is when a directory under /home/slitt gets too big, I use a bind mount to host that particular directory. Bind mounts are great because they (appear to) grow as the total bytes in the directory grows. I think next time I full-reinstall my computer, I'll have a huge partition dedicated to providing space for bind mounts. The following /etc/fstab entry is how I made sure that gnome-boxes images didn't swamp my /home/slitt partition: /scratch/gnome-boxes /home/slitt/.local/share/gnome-boxes none bind 0 0 SteveT Steve Litt May 2020 featured book: Troubleshooting Techniques of the Successful Technologist http://www.troubleshooters.com/techniques --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: https://lists.phxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
