I just got a va linux box (talk about a cool machine)!!! Anyway, I want to use it as a file server, however, the partition sizes are not exactally what I need. I am going to be sharing the /var/spool/mail files and I need a bit more room to hold all of these files. Below is a df of the system. Each disk (d0 and d1) are partitioned out completley. It would appear that I should swap var -> home. However, I think I have a better idea. as I have nothing on /home that I need, would it be wise to repartition c0d1 into c0d1p1 -> /home and a c0d1p2 -> /var/spool/mail? Can I do this? Mount /var and then mount another device as /var/spool/mail? Also, after repartitioning and copying the files back, would I need to do anything else other than updating the /etc/fstab and /etc/mtab files? Any input would be great!!!
