I am running Bookworm on my Debian computer. When I installed the OS I
selected the option for separate /var etc, and selected the default
sizes of the partitions.
When I ran sudo apt update this morning I received the error message:
E: You don't have enough free space in /var/cache/apt/archives/
Can I increase the size of the /var partition on the ssd without
having to reinstall the system?
Thanks in advance.
You can bind mount more space from another partition or create a directory on
another file system and sylmink it to /var/cache/apt/archives/
Maybe something like this
On a volume that has sufficient space
where <path> is some where on your filesystem
mkdir <path>/archives
cp -var /var/cache/apt/archives/ <path>/archives/
or
mv -v /var/cache/apt/archives/ <path>/archives/
then clean up /var/cache/apt/archives
rm -rf /var/cache/apt/archives
ln -vs <path>/archives /var/cache/apt/archives
or
|mount --bind |<path>/archives /var/cache/apt/archives
Add the bind mount to the end of /etc/fstab
/var/cache/apt/archives||<path>/archives|none bind,nofail|
