Now, after I installed some software, /usr has aroung 100M free. My question is, can I use mount to mount an additional drive under /usr to increase the space? Or do I have to use LVM? I read the LVM pages, but it did not make sense. What would I need to do for the same?to avoid the kind of problem you are having now.Or, he could reinstall. If it's a fresh install, reinstalling shouldn't be that big a burden.
Maybe not for a home 'puter but isn't putting /usr on a seperate partition prefered for a server? You can then mount the partition read only. That's one of the benefits i can think of.And, remember that this is 2005, not 1995. /usr doesn't have to be on it's own disk anymore.
