Sudhir,



Anup's solution is one way to resolve your issue. However, we need to

understand why you are in such a situation? Why is slash 93% full? In

most cases, it is OK to have slash at 93% provided it does not extend

any more. The fact that your application is complaining about space in

slash during installation means you do not have a dedicated /usr

partition. Ideally, you would want to have dedicated usr, tmp, var,

opt, home + any other app-specific partitions created so you don't

populate slash. If you already do, run a du -sh * | sort -nr in slash

to see what is occupying so much space.



And extending filesystems is the very reason we have a wonderful

feature called LVM.HI Sudhir,
Just check it in var/spool/mail and any other log file, if it shows that it  is 
full then take a backup and and empt  that file. and use above command ( du -sh 
* | sort -nr) . that will not harm u.

like your
