(On a mail server, of course I'd crank /var up.) You apparently missed the beginning of this thread. I strongly discouraged (and discourage) the use of small additional file systems. You're bound to find that you fill one up and have space left over in another, and before you know it you're going to end up with a symlink jungle. Sure, your concern is valid, but that's what we have quotas for. Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
