I had 13GB left on /var when it died at which point /var had zero. |
| 46 |
|
| 47 |
I made a new partition (/mnt/junk) with nothing else on it and built |
| 48 |
libreoffice there. |
| 49 |
|
| 50 |
In another terminal I ran |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
while true |
| 53 |
do |
| 54 |
df -h /mnt/junk | grep junk |
| 55 |
sleep 300 |
| 56 |
done |
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
df began at 0GB and grew to 16GB where it stayed (I was away when the |
| 59 |
build finished) |
| 60 |
So I am pretty sure that at the end it did indeed use 16GB. |
