Now that ext3, lvm and the linux kernel support file system resizes without umounting, perhaps it is time to create something that dynamically increases the file system sizes when they fill up, based on some rules.
For example, /var/ could be increased by 2% every time it is 95% full, until it reaches 10 GiB, or /var/opt/ltsp/swapfiles/ could be increased by 128 MiB every time there is less than 64 MiB left, until it occupies 10% of the LVM volume group. Every time it resizes a file system, the sysadmin should get some notification. I suspect this should be possible to implement in some script language. Anyone know if a similar system already exist? If we had such system, the need to manually adjust the file system sizes should be drastically reduced.
