The best places for /tmp and /var are on a separate partion(s). If one partion is available then pointing /tmp to /var/tmp makes sense. > # mkdir /usr/var > # cd /var > # tar cf - . | (cd /usr/var; tar xf - ) > # cd / > # rm -rf /var Then you should do: # ln -s /usr/var /var > > & > > # mkdir /usr/tmp > # rm -rf /tmp > # ln -s /usr/tmp /tmp Just like this, in other words. A small question, how did /var get so full?
