Anyone know of anyone looking to hire an office manager in Dallas? I have a person to pass along. Loads of experience, but mostly in management that requires them to be on their feet and they are looking for more of a desk position now. Can manage people.

#unmount home partition
umount /home/#show logical volumes
lvdisplay#remove logical volume for centos-home
lvremove /dev/centos/home#re-size centos-root partition
lvextend --size +number -r /dev/mapper/centos-root#confirm new partition size
lsblkIs there any reason why this would be a bad idea on a fresh install? My understanding is that home is not required.

@wirestyle22 /home is required, definitely. But it would not be its own filesystem 90% of the time. Why did it get it's own in the first place is the real question. How did you get into this situation?

I was under the impression that centos-root, centos-home, centos-swap were always there upon installation.
sda1 (boot) is the first partition with sda2 (centos-root, centos-swap, centos-home) being the second.

contemplating building a rPi3 File share for my dad so he can move files between the four computers he has easier that using a thumb drive...

Nope. Root and boot, yes. Those are the only givens. Swap is normal and you should have it. But home is very, very optional and something you are deciding on during installation. I don't have that in any of my CentOS Minimal 1511 installs.

Sipping coffee and trying to decide how to create a battery pack with 40+ 18650 cells.

I've got a huge coffee here and @dominica is busy packing.

Will you be using a BMS or just direct packing them>

If the disk is large enough it defaults to its own home directory. I do like having the home directory separate, along with /var. With the home directory on its own you can snapshot the root partition and not have a lot of personal data (that changes a lot) taking up Delta in the snapshot.
I have home as a separate on my laptop but that's because it's on its oen physical disk. I can reinstall and other than apps, I'm back to where I was before.

I generally either keep home on the same filesystem because it normally holds nothing but keys and maybe some scripts. Or if it is going to have any amount of data on it, automount it over NFS.

BMS of some flavor
My biggest issue at the moment is how to package them. I have crummy old cells and I'd like to have a setup where I can hot swap them in and out when (not if) they fail. The below looks fairly skookum but also looks like a crap ton of soldering and fiddling. Still the best option I've seen. After that I need to figure out how to package the pack physically.

It's +50GB right? then root defaults everything else into centos-home. I believe this is what JB was talking about with my plex installation.

I should have made a distinction. For a laptop or personal desktop that's what I do. For servers I don't, but SCAP does have that as a recommendation. So at work I have been doing it also.

That sounds right. I think root is always 50 and then home gets the rest (excluding boot and such).

You could try these maybe. etch out a PCB and then solder on...

Sadly no. Whatever this 24 hour bug going around is. My whole body aches.

@gjacobse Same problem as the ones in the picture - if you want to get any real current out of them (high amps) you need to reinforce those little pins. Good call though.
