It seems your var partition is vary small. just symlink directories on /var 1) mv /var/tmp /usr and ln -s /usr/tmp /var/tmp 2) mv /var/mail /usr and ln -s /usr/mail /var/mail 3) mv /var/log /usr and ln -s /usr/log /var/log Rotating logs is also a solution. But most of the softwares rotate logs by default. ----- Original Message ----- From: "David Banning" <david@skytrackercanada.com> To: <questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Sunday, September 01, 2002 12:35 PM Subject: logs take up too much space > My logs grow so big that my /var section of the drive gets full. > > Is there a way to set the log so that it trims the length of the log? > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
