  • If /var is on an LVM backed partition you can add more space to the logical volume then grow the filesystem online if /var is on a filesystem that supports it. Ext4 and xfs both support it.

    Btrfs and zfs should also support online resizing if you are using these. You can figure out what you have using the lsblk command.

    Edit: you will need to add an additional disk to the system or have unallocated free space. If it’s a vm in something like proxmox or VMware you can add an additional disk to the VM then use LVM/btrfs/zfs to add a physical volume/add more space to a pool. If it’s a bare metal physical machine you’ll have to plug in a new disk through a mechanism that supports hot swapping.

    When anyone lays eyes upon the huge mass of engineering that is the M1b they are seldom surprised to find the name “Mountain” is apart of the title for this behemoth. True enough the M1b is big and it was made big to fill the role of several other locomotive types (particularly the L1 and I1) and far surpass their capabilities. M1’s were designed to be versatile so they could fill passenger and freight roles. Early on they did fill both roles but would eventually be assigned to just freight duties with their ability to accelerate tonnage quickly. As one might imagine an engine so impressive requires an equally impressive tender. To keep the M1b’s running the large tenders they used could hold 31.5 tons of coal and up to 22,090 gallons of water with a scoop to collect water on the fly.

    Fast Fact: Between the overall engine/tender length of 106′ 11 3/4″ and combined weight of 384.18 tons, No.6755 is believed to be the largest surviving PRR steam locomotive.
