Hi Red Hat Group
I recently installed Fedora V7 from LXFDVD95 dated August 2007 on a
separate hard 20gb hard drive. I then received 250 plus critical
updates to my system which failed to install because the /var
directory ran out of space.
No it didn't. Directories don't have space limits. Partitions on the
other hand, do.
Not entirely true. There is a file count limit in ext2/3 directories.
Can't recall what it is offhand, but something like 32767 files (2^15
-1). I've hit it before.
