Re: root low space

Giacomo:

As I told you, my pointing dog has left. His performance in Gonnascodina on partridges remains in the records of the referee that had the luck of refereeing that game. Also, my "The Old Man and the Roading Dog" on Gray's Sporting Journal, 2005, 30(4), 13, was substantially the record of another performance of that dog, at which I was alone.

Moreover, I use to maintain the same my home on my two amd64 raid-mirror boxes, wheezy and jelly. So, the only concern - as far as I understand - is the root partition.

Thanks for your recommendations

Hi Robert:
Thanks for the input. I was at older ideas that shrinking a volume is a
dangerous move.

it still is, to some extent: if for whatever reason a resizing is aborted
midway (e.g. a power outage, an unrelated kernel panic...) all the contents
of the filesystem being resized are lost. Since these are hopefully
unlikely events, it's a remote possibility, but a catastrophic one. Do make sure to have up to date backups before resizing a filesystem
containing important data. And restrain your dog from playing with the
power cord while resizing :)

Ciao
Giacomo
