Hi,

On a recent make clean in /usr/ports, I happened to run out of space on
my /var partition.  I'm afraid I only had about 20mb allocated; I'll
have to fix that in the future.  But in the meantime, I was thinking I
could simply tar and move /var/db over to /mnt/usr1 where I have tons of
space (well, a few extra gigs, anyway) and symlink /mnt/usr1/db back to
/var/db.  Any red flags that you can think of?

TIA.

PS.  Would running out of space in /var possibly cause a "Don't know how
to make "clean" in /usr/ports/print/texinfo" error?
