Just _don't_ use it for your root file system. (Other people disagree with this warning.) Add one or more DASD volumes to your system. If you don't want to use LVM, just break out /usr (since that is likely what is taking up the most space) by following the directions at http://linuxvm.org/Info/HOWTOs/movefs.html If you do want to use LVM, follow the general flow of Chapter 17, section 2 onward of the " Linux for IBM eServer zSeries and S/390: Distributions, SG24-6264-00" Redbook at http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/sg246264.html _Then_ follow the directions of the HOWTO to move /usr onto an LVM Logical Volume (LV).
