Hello,

I need some help here.  Obviously I've got a problem as I can hardly get
anything to work now that my / is full.

I cannot afford to reformat as this is runs my mailserver/dns/webserver/etc.
My issue comes down to how can I create more room in my root directory.  Its
clear I made a fatal mistake by only allowing 50M.

What I am trying to figure out is how to add capacity to / without loosing
my files.  I would like to simply reformat and change it which would take a
matter of minutes but I cannot.  I would like to have at least 500M or a gig
as my /.

What do you think?  What is the best way to do this without loosing data. (I
do not want to use any kind of partition magic programs as I have had
nothing but failure from them).

Thanks
brandon
