What I did was to move my largest directories in /var (notably
spool/mail and spool/lp) to another partition, and use symlinks in the
root partition to point to the other directory. For example, create
/usr2/spool/mail, and create a symlink in /var/spool:
mail->/usr2/spool/mail. Make sure the permissions on /usr2/spool/mail
are the same as those of your original /var/spool/mail, so all the mail
programs can properly access it.
Where is your /tmp directory? I'd put that in a partition by itself, as
you shouldn't need to back it up, and its contents may get transiently
quite large. You can use /tmp (or a subdirectory of it) for your pop
drop directory to avoid quota problems.
