A cheap workaround (instead of having created a filesystem of exactly the
right size) is to create symlinks somewhere in /usr pointing to a big
space you have elsewhere. For instance:
# ln -s /bigspace/local/src /usr/local/src
instead of having /usr/local/src on the tight /usr partition. Personally,
I have /usr/local/src on /usr, but put various distributions on the big
disk and individual symlinks into /usr/local/src.
