One thing you could do is shut down your mail services and simply make a symlink to another mount on your machine that has a lot of free space.  So basically if /drive1 has a lot of space on it then you'd do the following:   move all files from /var/spool (directories too) to /drive1/spool   remove /var/spool   create a symlink from /var/spool to /drive1/spool   No programs will no the difference and the data is being stored on another drive.  Easy no?     On a side note... you probably don't want your email and WWW on the same server.  It is recomended that you keep those services (as well as DNS) on different boxes if you can.    - Matt   ----- Original Message ----- From: Chris Young To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, June 15, 2002 11:23 AM Subject: Disk Partition Help I am running Red Hat 7.2 on a web server that someone else set up.   I just discovered that the partition for the /var directory is only set to 350MB.   We are also running Plesk server administration program which recomends that it should be at least 2Gigs for email.   Is there any way to reconfigure the partition size without having to completely set up the system again?   Chris
