In fact, he needs space in wherever $PORTAGE_TMPDIR points to. Just set |
| 11 |
this variable to somewhere with enough space before emerging libreoffice. |

Did you say your existing PV is sda7? In that case, why mess with having |
| 21 |
two adjacent partitions are separate PVs in the same VG. Delete sda8, |
| 22 |
resize sda7 to fill the space and run pvresize /dev/sda7 to resize the PV |
| 23 |
to fit. Then you can use lvresize and resize2fs to increase /var, or |
| 24 |
create a separate space for PORT_TMPDIR. |

I prefer to keep potentially huge temporary directories away from |
| 27 |
critical filesystems like /var. |
