[Savannah-hackers] df /var

The following http://savannah.gnu.org/docs/mrtg.php?i=df.var.html
is pretty concerning.

Most of the data in /var cannot be removed.

So I think this partition should be resized. Normally, it should be
done by someone with direct access to the box. Is it possible?

The better solution, IMHO, would be to resize /dev/hdb3 to save 4GB,
to create a /dev/hdb4 (what are hdb1 and hdb2).

To do:

umount /audio-video
parted /dev/hdb
mount /audio-video
mkdir /tmp/hdb4
mount /dev/hdb4 /tmp/hdb4
cp -rv /var/* /tmp/hdb4
umount /tmp/hdb4
umount /var
mount /dev/hdb4 /var
emacs /etc/fstab

Then we have 2GB available on hda.


Also, loic, have you recently made backups of the CVS (CDs burned?)?

Regards,
