When freshly installed, Sysinstall creates just a small /var partition Incoming mail is delivered to /var/mail and I suspect this will soon fill up. I was thinking of doing One of the following, after adding a new disk. a. split the disk into two partitions one for /var/mail, the other for /var/spool/mqueue b. just mount the new disk on /var (copying the old var data to it first) c. mount the disk some where else and use symbolic links for /var/mail and /var/spool/mqueue to the new disk. I tend to favour 'c', but just decided to ask in case some one has a better suggestion of ther is some problem in using symbolic links like this. thanks for any info. --- Christopher Hall <c.hall@computer.org> To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
