You can't really play with the partition sizes, so you have three choices: 1. Wipe everything and start again. 2. Add a new drive and mount it in the part of /var that is so huge. 3. Use a symbolic link to link /var/foo to /usr/foo, where foo is the part of /var which is too big. I'd choose 3, most probably. "man ln" for more help Neil -- Neil Blakey-Milner nbm@rucus.ru.ac.za To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
