Maybe they used âautomatic partitionâ option of installer. This option creates splitted partitions for root and home, which, as you have already seen, is quite inconvenient. There is no option to change autodesk folder from /opt. In linux there are something called âbind mountâ, to take an existing directory tree and replicates it under a different point. Autodesk used it during transition between /usr/autodesk to /opt/autodesk. But itâs not worth it at all. Reinstall and follow autodesk guidelines to make the partitions.
I would suggest also go to a biggest HD. I had a 512 gb one and I had to move to 1 TB. Autodesk folder grows and gorws.
About hardware validation, it updates with every update of flame version. I guess you had 2024, and you updated to flame 2025. So, now, it asks for dku v19.0.0. Try to look for system requirements before of install a new flame version. Anyway, you can update dku later.
The latest installation of ADSK rocky 9.3 does indeed limit the â/â root directory and provide more space to /home.
This is a departure from previous installations where â/â covered the remaining disk after âbootâ and âswapâ are subtracted from the equation.
It is possible to grow an XFS partition, but it is very complicated and error prone to shrink an XFS partition.
If I remember correctly, the old recipe used to be:
This happened on CentOS 7 and Rocky 8 as well. Setup standard partitions or customize on OS install to avoid this behavior. Here is the existing workaround to reclaim that space. Note: I have not tested this workaround with Rocky 9.
You can always open a support case and we can help.
I got scorched by this on my first CentOS setup. Thankfully @Jack saved me. That experience in the middle of a job has made me keenly aware to check it everytime Iâve made a system since.
