mozilla cache partition mishap ?
Having followed some possibily outdated directive..
i have set up my filesystem in such a way that i am wondering
if it is impairing performance,
kv_bsd# df -m
Filesystem 1M-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s2a 248 1369260%/
devfs 00 0 100%/dev
/dev/ad0s2e 5500 506 0%/tmp
/dev/ad0s2f 36333 9473 2395328%/usr
/dev/ad0s2d 496 115 34125%/var
linprocfs 00 0 100%/usr/compat/linux/proc
i have been too lazy to use useradd so i just keep running as root.
i did mkdir /home at some point but then i kept overflowing /
i installed the GIMP graphics program and it crashed, but then
i realized that it was using a directory under the /root
directory (because /root is ${HOME}) I found a bit in GIMP
where i was able to change pertinent directories, so I have
been manually creating stuff like /usr/home
kv_bsd# ls /usr
.Trash-root bin include link to homesbin
.gimp-2.2 compat lib local share
.snap games libdata obj src
X11R6 homelibexec ports
kv_bsd#
and the above .gimp-2.2 directory needed to make sure that GIMP
didn't crash. now i have been encountering something somebody
warned me about running firefox with flash plugins.. it is crashing
sometimes.. well.. he warned me i don't know if i expect a complete
fix to that, but right now i am noticing
kv_bsd# du .mozilla/ | sort -n
. . .
4920.mozilla/firefox/4dopg5yz.default/Cache
7346.mozilla/firefox/4dopg5yz.default
7358.mozilla/firefox
7368.mozilla/
now i am thinking.. well..
there are a whole bunch of things in /root .files, er.. .directories
is it possible for me to switch these to /usr so i don't over flow?
kv_bsd# ls /root
.ICEauthority .gnome_private .realplayerrc
.Trash .gstreamer-0.10 .recently-used
.Xauthority .gstreamer-0.8 .recently-used.xbel
.bash_history .gtkrc-1.2-gnome2 .ssh
.cddbslave .history.thumbnails
.config .java .xsession-errors
.cshrc .k5loginDesktop
.dmrc .lesshstfirefox-bin.core
.evolution .login index.html
.gconf .macromedia npviewer.bin.core
.gconfd .mailcappublic_html
.gimp-2.2 .metacity q
.gnome .mozillariese_resume.doc
.gnome2 .nautilus xorg.conf
.gnome2_private .profile
kv_bsd#
would that be a good idea?

You could set HOME to /home/root in .profile?
Best solution still is: do the useradd and create a normal user for your work.
It takes less time then you took to write this email, so the lazy part is
already invalidated.
