In other words: /, /tmp, /var, /usr, /usr/X11R6, /usr/local, /usr/src, /usr/obj, and /home, in that order. All the usr's (except x11) and home are set for a couple gigs each but only using a few hundred megs collectively. /var is a few hundred megs and close to full. >

It really is easier to communicate if we can talk about specifics. > Nuking src and obj will free up a lot, but I think it would make more sense to collapse all the usr stuff into just /usr, move home into where var currently is, and move var into the new space. > So, use newfs. Once you have deleted your unused partitions, how you cut the space it opens up is entirely up to you. I have often found myself doing something like this. Reread the manual pages , just to get your creative juices flowing. du -S /var/* will tell you which subdirectories of /var are good candidates for moving off /var . Virtualizing the problem child is also good, if you don't need to test the old stuff on some actual piece of hardware, but playing with your partitions is good practice, too. -- Joel Rees
