list of non zero entries for a Fedora 28 Gnome system with /var
Description of problem:
Install guide and I believe release guide too, mention that /var would be
satisfied with about 7-8 gigs of partition diskspace.
I setup /var on my system to be part of root.
I ran into a problem. I received a warning that / was less than 1 gig from
full.
I did a du -h of /var and it's grown to 15gigs. The culprits are freedesktop,
lots of icons, and loads of Gnome crap (from F26 forward). Gnome software
updates are not cleaning up /var
I cleared out 2 gigs of logs.
It is my intention to separate /var to it's own partion away from my SSD drive
to a hard disk. I sized /var to be 10gigs, but now my existing /var does not
fit. Ergo so my warning message about partition full.
What size is recommended. I ran a du -h /var and I am attaching a list of the
Fedora /var contents less the zero byte entries.
Although this is documentation, I will be posting a second bug against F28
gnome not cleaning up and along with freedesktop.
