  • 86box is a little different than dosbox in that it fully emulates the hardware. Performance might still be an issue in your case, though. I have an emulated voodoo banshee system for playing old games and it works great for my use case of supporting old glide games. My thinking being if it can support glide emulation that it would be able to support anything from the dos era. I could be wrong though.











  • 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.
