[TriLUG] /usr at 92%, now what

[Scott Lundgren]

Hey all,

When attempting to update my RH 8 box with the new glibc, glibc-common, and
glibc-devel packages (2.3.2-4.80.6) rpm complained there was not enough
space on /usr to install them. What's the best way to handle this? Can I
simply relocate these packages ? If so where's the best place to move them ?

Is the optimal solution to backup /etc & /root/anaconda-ks.cfg and
completely reinstall with a different partion layout or an excuse to try LVM
? Thanks.
