last year when I went back to Arch from Manjaro, I made a critical error. I’m not sure if I was just tired when partitioning things off or what. but I made my root only 20GB instead of the 50 that I had intended. I know in a lot use cases that’ll be fine, but in mine, not so much. with steam compat taking up 1-2gb and keeping one version of pacman cache, I’m constantly getting the redline warning.

Tonight I plan on booting to live and resize my luks drive and hopefully not fuck it. and if I do? oh well…Timeshift will hopefully save me.

    in many cases you could simply move the directory that is taking too much space to different directory then either make softlink or if that didnt work you can use mount --bind

    for example if directory /var/cach/mygame is too big, move my game to /mnt/part2/mygames

    then either do ln -s /mnt/part2/mygames /var/cach/ or mount --bind /mnt/part2/mygames /var/cach/mygames

    the miunt option is not permanent so if it works, u will need to add it to /etc/fstab to make it permenent
