Hi,
Hope someone out there can help me. I have been charged with looking
after a freebsd 4.5 server and have come across a problem I am not sure
how to resolve.
Basically, the /var filesystem is 108% full. I have free space on
another filesystem (/usr) and would like to transfer some of this

Thanks for the answers so far.
I tried to use the autocorrected values, of course. But I can't create a
partition with them (as said: I was able to delete a NTFS partition w/o
problems).
When I try to write the partition table, sysinstall / fdisk catches
signal 11. It seems fdisk is not able to

, then, no, sticking those together in a single
partition is probably the most convenient approach. Personally, I
wouldn't ignore backup issues -- they are the main impetus behind my
own partitioning schemes -- but for a user desktop, other concerns
aren't that important
(including /usr/home) might be the most practical and flexible approach?
No significant advantage to a separate partition that I know of. The
primary disadvantage of too much partitioning, running out of room,
doesn't seem to apply here either. Looks like it's just whatever you
prefer.

Yes--you'll need to create additional BSD slices.

Although Free can be installed on a partition under 500M, 3G will give you
more than adequate playing space, with some reasonable storage in your

The swap size depends on the size of your RAM. I use at least ramsize
sized swap spaces.
