Werner,
It's usually not the "root" (/) filesystem itself. It's usually one of the
directories underneath it that you left on the same device, for example,
/tmp, or perhaps even /var or /usr, depending on how your system is used.
If it were me, I'd locate the offending directory and just move it off of
that device. Sounds like you have a candidate for another directory to put
in your LVM pool if its growth has gone undetected all this time, or maybe
it deserves its own device. Doing the move itself is pretty simple.
Good luck,
--Jim--

Please respond to
Linux on 390 Port
I've installed SLES7 (Beta version) onto one (of three) 3390-3 dasd. The
root
filesystem is now filled up to 92%. I'd like to have more freespace and
wonder
how to do this.
Books say that root filesystem under LVM is not recommended. Are there at
least
some directories I can move (of course on the fly) from root filesystem to
LVM
space?
Are there any recommendations/experiences how to split up root fs to more
than
one 3390-3 volume?
Any hints are very welcome.
Werner
