Laid out properly, / will never grow. # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/dasda1 388M 168M 200M 46% / /dev/mapper/vg01-home 97M 4.4M 88M 5% /home /dev/mapper/vg01-opt 74M 21M 50M 30% /opt /dev/mapper/vg01-srv 1.2G 1.1G 100M 92% /srv /dev/mapper/vg01-tmp 291M 34M 242M 13% /tmp /dev/mapper/vg01-usr 2.0G 901M 1.1G 45% /usr /dev/mapper/vg01-var 2.0G 608M 1.3G 32% /var Of course the amount of space dedicated to each LV will vary according to specific needs.
