No. Careful partitioning is the solution to this problem. Monitor the growth of your partitions and make sure nothing on rootfs or other sensitive partitions grow significantly.
- slaymaker1907 6y agoI don't think this has to be an either/or scenario. Having some bloat you can get rid of quickly is a nice backup in case your monitoring fails for whatever reason.
- tremon 6y agoOr the modern equivalent, subvolume quotas.
- Cacti 6y agoPartitions do far more than enforce quotas.
- tremon 6y agoThey also hurt far more than dynamic subvolume allocations, due to their static nature. You still can't repartition an active disk without downtime under Linux FAFAIK, it requires a reboot or unmounting all other partitions on that disk, even for partitions that didn't change. I'll take lvm/zfs/btrfs subvolumes over static partitions any day.
