  • Why put those directories under /home/myuser? They don't belong in a user's home directory, ever. create /home/var, /home/var/lib, /home/var/cache instead. BTW mv+symlink is a method with a long history, people have done what you are doing for decades. because it works. Commented Oct 9, 2015 at 7:38
  • Good point. It was a very bad idea. Afterwards I did it for specific folders inside var and it went better in terms of just gaining space. After this experience I will create a root partition an another for home, but not partitions for var and tmp because it gave me problems running out of space. Commented Oct 14, 2015 at 17:48
