Re: want to change /var/log partition to a directory in /var --help

["Ivar Friheim" <ivar.friheim@gmail.com>]

If you have enough room on the /var-partition, you could simply delete
(or comment) the line containing " /dev/hda7 /var/log " from /etc/fstab
and reboot. This will make your system start using your directory
/var/log on the hda3-partition instead of mounting this directory on
another partition. If you want to keep the data stored on your /var/log
now, you can simply mount the partition /dev/hda7 on another mountpoint
manually after a reboot.
