My private solution is to have a /local mounted with a big data partition. Now /home is a symlink to /local/home. /var/cache is a symlink. Anything that gets too big gets symlinked to /local. This way anybody can find stuff and I have the flexibility to assign space as needed. Maybe it's time to acknowledge that there is such a thing as local policy and accommodate it. -- Remco Treffkorn (RT445) HAM DC2XT remco@xxxxxxx (831) 685-1201
