Hi,
can somebody post the result of du -h /var from a pretty vanilla 10.0 installation? The reason I am asking is I want to determine if it would be feasible to mount /var on a usb flash (512MB) for a silent server where I would like to suspend the hd. On 10.1, /var is more than 512MB, and quite a lot of the space is used by zmd . That's a bad idea. /var contains log files, spool files as well as both the utmp and wtmp files. You can certainly contain the size of the log files by removing the old logs, wtmp and some other garbage.
