The reason why I'm asking this is because it seems like whenever there is high mail traffic, the /var/tmp gets saturated and gives me with an error message that the disk is full? Could somebody please let me know about the flow of mail from the time it arrive to the time it get read. Also, if my assumption is right, how can I mount the /var/tmp directory on another device, for example, from wd0s2e to wd0s2f Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 31775 14096 15137 48% / /dev/wd0s2f 1699543 395258 1168322 25% /usr /dev/wd0s2e 29727 3690 23659 13% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc\ Another question, is there any way I can increase my swap space if I put in another drive. I was not able to increase/create the swap file during the initial setup, it only allowed me to use the auto create of filespace?
