Usually I dimension the partitions with plenty of space. This is my first experience with a full partition, so I can't really say that a full partition does something special. I can think of a few things though, that might present problems. Last evening I decided to set things up again. /usr was 4Gb, /var was 8Gb, so I reformatted those and then switched the designated partitions around. Things now look like this [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ df Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 5,8G 911M 4,6G 17% / /dev/hda10 62G 33G 26G 57% /files /dev/hda9 30G 1021M 29G 4% /home /dev/hda8 7,9G 2,9G 4,7G 39% /usr /dev/hda7 3,9G 233M 3,5G 7% /var /dev/hdb5 18G 11G 6,4G 62% /big /dev/hdb6 11G 78M 11G 1% /big2 and that should be fine. Except for a compilation problem with spamprobe I have things up and running again, and everything looks nice and stable again. Galeon, pan and gqview (those gave me the problems) all are alive and kicking again, and the scrollwheel is scrolling again. This did not go well after install, I had to tweak xorg.conf to get that going. It is a bit of a pain to get all other installed things together again, but it does look worth the while. >My experience with 2006 has been _very_ smooth.

M2006 has been very stable since I installed it. But it is clear that a full partition has some suprises in store that I had not anticipated.
