@Adi: If this is production, I'd strongly recommend it, but to better answer your question would be based upon:
* what your intention is with this install (test, dev, production?) * load: active agents, expected number of tickets, attachment expectations * version you're attempting to install * how you intend to apply updates (source or rpm) * criticality of application on this box to your business
I'm in agreement with Ugo in principle. The symlink somewhat mitigates the issue for your install, in my opinion, and may be enough, especially if you rate the above bullet points as lower priority. The generic answer for high criticality is not a bigger root partition but a bigger /opt partition. Add a drive/partition and mount it as /opt. Then you can take that with you even if you replace the operating system.
I agree with that.
