I had 13GB left on /var when it died at which point /var had zero. I made a new partition (/mnt/junk) with nothing else on it and built libreoffice there. In another terminal I ran while true do df -h /mnt/junk | grep junk sleep 300 done df began at 0GB and grew to 16GB where it stayed (I was away when the build finished) So I am pretty sure that at the end it did indeed use 16GB. allan PS thanks again for rc single
