Thanks. This clarifies it. The synatx of fstab is so often to find in the net, that I don't want to copy&paste it again. Look at: https://wiki.debian.org/fstab Some hints from me: - I prefer using UUIDs for instead of device names (see above link) - /tmp is usually not the place where a lot of data is written. Noisy places are: - /var/log, and especially /var/log/journal - swap spaces, please check via your /proc/swaps - caches, like firefox, chromium uses in /home/<user>/.<something> - database files, found in /var/lib/<database> Best regards, Klaus. -- Klaus Singvogel GnuPG-Key-ID: 1024R/5068792D 1994-06-27
