It should not keep expanding, though. IMHO, you should still be fine as long as you've got /tmp, /usr/, /var, and the home directories residing on other partitions. If you're using /home under / for home directories, you might want to move it to /usr/home and symlink /home to it. -- Clifton -- Clifton Royston -- cliftonr@iandicomputing.com / cliftonr@lava.net President - I and I Computing * http://www.iandicomputing.com/ Custom programming, network design, systems and network consulting services
