The "old-standby" method of doing this would be to take the problem
directory (typically /var/log or /var/mail) and symlink it to somewhere
in your /usr slice if that's where you have all the space.

Does that BSD-compatible version of Partition Magic I keep hearing about
let you resize existing partitions? Anyone?
