is there any way to increase the size of my /var directory under debian 12.7? (flatpak related)
is there any way to increase the size of my /var directory under debian 12.7? (flatpak related)
when I installed debian 12.7 I created a separated /var directory, along other 2 separated directories (names forgotten).
I also use flatpak and this program is installed in this directory. Executing 'flatpack update' I discovered this directory is 95% full, meaning I cannot update anything, because /var is 95% full (only 400 MiB free)
Ideas to solve this?

If you end up with resizing /var as the only solution, please post your partition layout first and ask, don't rush into it. A screenshot from an app like Disk Manager or Gparted should do it, and we'll explain the steps and the risks.
When you're ready to resize, you MUST use a bootable stick, not resize from inside the running system. You have to make a stick using something like Ventoy, and drop the ISO for the live version of GParted on the stick, then boot with it and pick the Gparted live. You'll have to write down the instructions and be careful what you do, and also hope that there's no power outage during.
