I know you'll find this hard to believe, but on Tue, Mar 25, 2003 at 20:26 ,
Arie J. Gerszt actually admitted to saying:

PLENTY.

You do NOT want to move /sbin and /bin out of the primary
partition.

If you have a problem and boot into single user mode all the files
you need for recovery will be on an unreachable partition.

You can run with only 100GB in / but be sure to keep /bin, /sbin
and /etc on that partition and link other things.

Did you ever determine exactly WHAT used up the space.  Nothing in
those above should use that much - unless you have tons in namedb
and that's easy to configure to point elsewhere.

I'd suggest moving /bin and /sbin and the base /etc files back onto
the / partition before you have a problem and need them.

Read    man 7 hier   so you undestand what needs to be where for
single user.
