Today in my Daily Output I noticed that my /var partition is running out of space. The partition is only 250MB and /var/mail is the biggest hog with about 170MB. I think that this /var is way too small, considering that 20 mail users with 10MB of email each, would be 200MB and could easily saturate it. I'm wondering what would be the best way of going about this. My initial thought was to just link /var/mail to /home/mail and that way let it grow however it needs to. However, maybe setting /var/mail to it's own partition might be advantageous, although I don't know if this requires reformatting the whole HD. I don't have access to the server (I'm renting it in a facility), so reformatting is not an option, it's also on a mirrored RAID if that changes anything. Thanks in advance for your help.
