Problem is being addressed with log sizes and with dnf registering multiple duplicate entries in each of it's log. Has this issue been resolved? I am now using btrfs (One full partition) and if the issue is not resolved, the /var will gradually eat up all the partition space. The install guide has been retired, therefore I'm closing this bug. If you would like to report Fedora docs bugs in the future, please use the "bug" icon on the top right of the affected page, it will take you directly to the appropriate issue tracker. |
Created attachment 1475444 [details] list of non zero entries for a Fedora 28 Gnome system with /var Description of problem: Install guide and I believe release guide too, mention that /var would be satisfied with about 7-8 gigs of partition diskspace. I setup /var on my system to be part of root. I ran into a problem. I received a warning that / was less than 1 gig from full. I did a du -h of /var and it's grown to 15gigs. The culprits are freedesktop, lots of icons, and loads of Gnome crap (from F26 forward). Gnome software updates are not cleaning up /var I cleared out 2 gigs of logs. It is my intention to separate /var to it's own partion away from my SSD drive to a hard disk. I sized /var to be 10gigs, but now my existing /var does not fit. Ergo so my warning message about partition full. What size is recommended. I ran a du -h /var and I am attaching a list of the Fedora /var contents less the zero byte entries. Although this is documentation, I will be posting a second bug against F28 gnome not cleaning up and along with freedesktop.
