I installed leafnode over the weekend but have had to disable it as my /var partition is vanishing before my very eyes. It worked very nicely for a few hours but had to be stopped when df said I was up around 85% full on /dev/hda10 and still climbing. When I installed the OS (RH6.2) I had little idea what went into /var so took a guess at how much space and clearly made it too small :( What I think I need to do is reduce the size of my (far too big) /usr partition and increase the size of my (far too small) /var, or tell leafnode not to stick all its files in /var. I have no idea how to do either and haven't had a great deal of luck trying to find solutions short of reformat / repartition / re-installing the entire OS. My level of experise could be described as "newbie or just above" so sorry if this is a dumb/innapropriate question. I suppose I could unsubscribe some of the demon newsgroups, that would probably free up loads of MBs, esp demon.service. Ideas would be very welcome - Mark @ work http://www.onomatopoeia.plus.com - motorsport in Hillman Imps and derivatives, plus other errant nonsense
