Correct on all counts. This laptop runs KDE, here's my breakdown: |
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
# du -sh /usr |
| 36 |
13G /usr |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
# du -sh /usr/* |
| 39 |
12K /usr/INSTALL |
| 40 |
104K /usr/Licenses_for_Third-Party_Components.txt |
| 41 |
426M /usr/bin |
| 42 |
12M /usr/gnu-classpath-0.98 |
| 43 |
460M /usr/include |
| 44 |
0 /usr/lib |
| 45 |
525M /usr/lib32 |
| 46 |
2.8G /usr/lib64 |
| 47 |
134M /usr/libexec |
| 48 |
512K /usr/local |
| 49 |
38M /usr/sbin |
| 50 |
3.6G /usr/share |
| 51 |
4.9G /usr/src |
| 52 |
0 /usr/tmp |
| 53 |
11M /usr/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
Those numbers are not likely to change much with time, with one exception: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
/usr/src |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
That can get real big real quick if you don't clean up kernel sources |
| 60 |
often. Ideally, you'd make that a suitably sized LV and mount it seperately. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
The other space consumer is /usr/share with it's many documentation |
| 63 |
files. But those too tend to be stable once you have everything |
| 64 |
installed. 5G free out of 19G is ~75% space in use which is perfectly |
| 65 |
acceptable for this case. |
| 66 |
|
| 67 |
Regular monitoring of the state of your machines will tell you if space |
| 68 |
usage increases so you can investigate and deal with it timeously. |
| 69 |
|
| 70 |
I assume you long since moved portage and it's storage directories out |
| 71 |
of /usr into /var? |
