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?
