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?

you could move the flatpak stuff onto another partition with same permissions and bind mount it to the original location, then persist it with a line in fstab

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
