Hi,

I'm fairly new to BSD - I recently got this in my daily report:

> pid 5099 (mail.local), uid 0 on /var: file system full

So I checked the amount of free space I had:

Disk status:
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a     49583    30927    14690    68%    /
/dev/ad0s1f  28526055  3831863 22412108    15%    /usr
/dev/ad0s1e     19815    17238      992    95%    /var
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc

I went in and deleted all the mail I had in my mail box and I was left with
this:

www# df -k
Filesystem  1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a     49583    30925    14692    68%    /
/dev/ad0s1f  28526055  3832007 22411964    15%    /usr
/dev/ad0s1e     19815    16321     1909    90%    /var
procfs              4        4        0   100%    /proc


Can I resize /var, or what solution do I need to use to get more space?

Thanks
-Rob
