Re: [opensuse] 11.3 how to move directory to save space?

I have a mixed system (Windows Vista and Opensuse 11.3). I just
upgraded from 11.2 to 11.3. I was running out of space prior to this
and uninstalled a few non-essential apps (games, graphics/multimedia
apps, etc). I am severely low on space in my root directory. I ran the
(new) Disk Usage Analyzer and found that my /usr/lib and /usr/share
directories are eating up the bulk of space. Is there any way I can
move either of these to the empty /overflow partition?

Yes, you can create a new directory on another partition or drive and move that directory there. Then create a simlink to the new directory. You can also use Logical Volume Management to avoid the problem.
