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
