I did the init 1 command and then attempted to umount /var, but it would not let me? I get an error message indicating that /var is busy. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks,
Another way to do it is to reboot the machine, then at the grub menu select the option for editing command line arguments and add the word "single" to the end of the command line.
That will boot you directly to a root shell without any login prompt.
You can then:
umount /var e2fsadm -L+500M /path/to/logical/volume/device/for/var mount /var exit
Note carefully the e2fsadm syntax. After the "-L", without any space, put a "+" followed by a number followed by "M" for "Megabytes". If you leave out that plus sign you're going to resize your partition to exactly 500M instead of growing the filesystem by 500 megs.
