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? -- David S.
