home partition too small (only 8GB)
Discovered tonight that the home partition really was too small. Fortunately I did have some spare disk space that I was saving for a rainy day, so I formatted it using reiser file system, and used:
tar --create --file - software | tar --extract --preserve-permissions --same-owner --directory /home2 software
to move the data. After updating /etc/fstab and rebooting everything is happy.
And it should be noted that 3GB is much too small for a /usr partition, fortunately I just happened to have an 8GB partition lying around...
