Or do what DEC has done for years (assume /usr is a separate/larger partition with lots of space): mv /var /usr/var ln -s /usr/var /var I grew tired of always moving individual /var subdirs over to /usr and symb linking, so I ended up using this method on here. > You could also add a new disk and mount /var/mail on that. > Done that too (key to remote administration/installation, always think redudancy/too much disk space). We had a 1GB IDE drive not doing anything useful. Came in handy when we ran out of space on /var/mail! Bernie
