The second one usually comes from running `tunefs -o TIME', but the tunefs(8) man page states that if the fragmentation on a filesystem gets too big that it will switch automatically. You must run /var near full all the time so the fragmentation is bad. You might consider moving high traffic directories like /var/mail over to /usr and symlinking it across.
