Our database is increasing so fast that now i need to expand the memory for /var/db. I guess one way to do is to install a new hard drive and then mount it to /var/db. But i would like to know if there is any other way to solve that problem. Is making a soft link a good idea. i have 70GB in /usr/ so i would like to map /var/db/ to some location in /usr/. Please let me know if anyone has any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Naveen. --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo! Mail AddressGuard
