You can put your LVM at /var/lib/mysql instead of just /var.

This product uses MySQL, which defaults to placing its databases on /var (which I consider a Bad Idea, but that's beside the point). Because of this, they need 80 GB for /var. I have an 80 GB ext3 file system created in LVM and mounted, but they need that space in /var, which currently only has one 3390-3. Is there a way to move /var onto the LVM file system? The last time I tried something like this, it resulted in a reload of the OS.
