Thanks for all help. uname says "FreeBSD 4.10-SECURITY" Looks like I should do a fresh install. What's a bugger is this server does dns (bind 8) and web hosting (Apache 1.3) for a few hundred domains. I can backup the zone and web data no problem but I've only installed FreeBSD a few times while looking for a replacement for Gentoo. I need to get this right. This server will only be doing dns and some minor (low hit) web hosting. I will do my own homework and google like hell before I do this but I'd like to ask here on this list what version of FreeBSD I should go with if there is a good howto for a combo bind/apache/php/mysql build. Thanks for sharing your valuable time. //Brad On Dec 16, 2006, at 11:31 PM, Bradley Giesbrecht wrote: > Hello, > > > I inherited a freebsd installation with a var slice/mount that is > to small and filling up all the time. > > What type of info should I provide to allow someone to help me with > a solution? > > I would very much prefer to not install another drive just for /var. > > /usr has plenty of space.
