Can anyone help me the steps involved to perform this. Any help is certainly appreciated. The easiest way would be to boot singler user mode (-s at the boot:) so that no mail will be written. Then: mv /var /usr cd / ln -s /usr/var /var One file, if you have lpd enabled (I think), will not move and you will have to delete it. This is what I do for every system install. More efficient to have var under /usr/var and share the partition. Now if you have a lot of mail traffic, then mouting another drive to /var would be better. ------------------------------------------- Jeff Mountin - System/Network Administrator jeff@mixcom.net MIX Communications Serving the Internet since 1990
