re: for making /var bigger
hi ya
-- i deleted that orig email and decided to reply anyway..
if /var is too full... you can also do the following:
- ls -la /var/spool/mqueue /var/spool/mail /var/spool/clientmqueue
- remove any junk ...
- mailq should tell you of any pending emails
- ls -la /var/log
- how big are your log files ...
- is it rotating foo.1, foo.2, foo.3 ...
if you have a growing web tree under /var/www
i'd move that to /home/www instead
if i rememer correctly.. you had /usr/local ( basically unsused )
and /usr ....
i'd move /usr/local/* back into the /usr tree
and convert /var into /usr/local
( but i forgot how big your /usr/local /var was )
moving things that grow like /var/log and /var/spool out of
/var will also prevent /var from getting full
-- no matter how big your partitions are...you will always
run out of space at the wrong time
( typically when you dont have the time to deal with it )
