Personally, I would rebuild the system. Resizing partitions is just too risky to deal with. My servers all have less than 10 G root (/) partitions. The OS really doesn't need that much. I have /var/log and /tmp on separate partitions so the system doesn't come to a grinding halt when those fill up without me knowing (4 GB on each should be plenty.) Since you said you won't use /home (as much) or don't expect it to fill up, you can keep it small ... OR ... use that as your MP3 storage. Whatever you do, I would keep your MP3 storage on its own separate partition. As you noticed, having it as part of /var, you now have a full /var and the system will more than likely start generating errors because it can't save anything in /var/log. If you insist on having /var/shared/music, have it on it's own little partition (or large partition, whatever the case might be.) This way it can fill up to 100% while /var is still able to continue to serve the OS in general./dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 70G 3.0G 63G 5% / /dev/hda1 99M 13M 82M 13% /boot none 125M 0 125M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda2 49G 360M 46G 1% /home /dev/hda3 29G 28G 0 100% /var
Or should I just give in and rebuild the system from scratch?
