As you have partitions on the disk between /usr and /home,
you can't easily just grow /var.

Here are some options:

- backup, reinstall with better partition sizes, restore.

- swap /var and /home partitions (shut down services, copy files
around between the partitions, swap the fstab entries, reboot).
if you are not totally confident with doing this, make sure your
backups are up-to-date first.

- if you only need a little more space, or if you need to buy some
time until you an plan a proper reinstallation, move your squid
cache_dir to /home.



I got the same recommendation from Vadim Zhukov persg...@gmail.com
with little difference, do it in single mode:

1. Boot in single user mode, enter shell.
2. mount /, /usr, /var and /home.
3. Move /var/* to /home.
4. Move /home/* to /var (except what moved on step 3).
5. Umount /home and /var.
6. Edit fstab and switch /home and /var mount points.
7. Try to mount /home and /var now, checking all is ok.
8. Proceed booting (^D) and have a nice day.

but I operate remotely, and can't shut down all services, such PF or SSH. So in any way I need to do this locally?
