Ah, that would explain why the / filesystem is filling up quickly.

Would the sizing from the cookbook support the upgrade processes? I expect the 
sizing was created for a fresh install. It might be the disk is too small to 
hold the required files during the upgrade. Some 300M would be enough to hold a 
required data for a Linux system but during an upgrade more space is needed.

I don't know if files in /lib are used during boot. If so then the boot will 
fail. If not then the directory might be eligible to be moved into its own 
minidisk. I have never tried that.

Looks like /lib/modules is pretty large compared to other subdirectories.
Do you all think giving /lib its own filesystem would be a good idea?
Forgot to mention. I'm testing an upgrade to SLES 12 and I received an error 
about the / filling up. This prompted the search into expanding /.
