When I run ls on / I get this: ls / .cshrc COPYRIGHT cdrom dist home media rescue sys var .profile bin=20 compat entropy lib mnt root tmp .snap boot dev etc libexec proc sbin usr Since I have separate partitions for /var, /tmp, and /usr, that would mean=20 everything not included under those would be part of the / partition? I'm not sure I understand entropy. Using file, I can see that /home and=20 /compat are symlinks, but what is entropy? File says it's data. If I use find to get the directories directly under root, it returns this: # find / -type d -maxdepth 1 / /.snap /dev /tmp /usr /var /etc /cdrom /dist /bin /boot /lib /libexec /media /mnt /proc /rescue /root /sbin So, I can eliminate /tmp, /usr, and /var, and the rest is in the root=20 partition, correct? It seems the most disk consumption is in /boot/ # du -h /boot/ 28K /boot/defaults 2.0K /boot/firmware 497M /boot/kernel 2.0K /boot/modules 2.0K /boot/zfs 2.0K /boot/dtb 91M /boot/kernel.old 591M /boot/ I can remove /boot/kernel.old, right? (I'm not sure I will. Just asking.)
