Just John Posted April 20, 2008 Report Share Posted April 20, 2008 I only gave mandriva a few GB to test it out, and it looks like it created a 5.7GB and a 1.1GB partition. I didn't realize that saved files were going to the 1.1, so I hit overflow on the 1.1 yesterday. When that happened firefox would go unresponsive and turn gray like every 10 seconds or so. Very frustrating. So I would like 1. To know how to keep that from happening when a hard drive gets filled, and 2. A quick explanation of the partitioning Thanks!

jkerr82508 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Got the firefox problem again even though the hard drive wasn't maxed out. Try reducing the size of the Firefox cache - Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Network Although your real problem is probably that your /home partition is not large enough.
