To shrink /home from the head you would have to (from single user mode): 1) dump(8) your current /home. 2) Change the slice for /home (k) to a higher start and smaller size to end where it ends today, and still start on a cylinder boundary. 3) Zero the start 1 MB of the slice with dd. 4) Create a new empty filesystem on that slice. 5) restore(8) the saved /home content onto the "new" slice. To increase /var you would have to (from single user mode): 1) Create space at the tail of /var's slice by shrinking the slice after from the head. 2) Unmount /var 3) Grow the /var filesystem using growfs(8). But since your /var is slice e and /home is slice k that can not be done. You will have to find some other disk space to dump(8) and restore(8) your current /var into. Or chroot your apache into some other filesystem. Or reinstall with better partitionint, or... -- / Raimo Niskanen, Erlang/OTP, Ericsson AB
