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 )
