I have long had my own extra var-type dir, which i call '/z' |
9 |
(it started out as "all the otherwise unassigned space on the disk"). |
10 |
Currently, it has 20 GB , of which 8 GB are used, |
11 |
all temporary stuff, none of it for anything of lasting value. |
12 |
That's where I do all my heavy-lifting, eg ISOs, testing packed archives |
13 |
& esp /z/tmp , which is my Portage tempdir. |

In your set-up, you might consider mounting /dev/sda8 as a similar big dir. |
16 |
That would avoid all the problems of changing existing dir sizes |
17 |
& also any need to alter LVM. |
