Personally, I would rebuild the system. Resizing partitions is just
too risky to deal with. My servers all have less than 10 G root (/)
partitions. The OS really doesn't need that much. I have /var/log and
/tmp on separate partitions so the system doesn't come to a grinding
halt when those fill up without me knowing (4 GB on each should be
plenty.) Since you said you won't use /home (as much) or don't expect
it to fill up, you can keep it small ... OR ... use that as your MP3
storage. Whatever you do, I would keep your MP3 storage on its own
separate partition. As you noticed, having it as part of /var, you now
have a full /var and the system will more than likely start generating
errors because it can't save anything in /var/log. If you insist on
having /var/shared/music, have it on it's own little partition (or large
partition, whatever the case might be.) This way it can fill up to 100%
while /var is still able to continue to serve the OS in general.
