How can I increase the size of "/var" ?

Here is my filesystem:

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 726M 584M 142M 80% / /dev/hda3 194M 116M 78M 60% /var /dev/hda4 8.2G 1.7G 6.5G 21% /home

If you don't have a special reason for keeping /var in a separate filesystem then you can move it to /home, make a symbolic link there, and use hda3 for experiments with different filesystems (ext2, ext3, reiserfs, ...). This procedure is straightforward but not quite easy for beginners. Otherwise you can make a full backup, repartition the disk and restore the data. Full backup is recommended even if you try some programs for automatic disk repartitioning (I'm not familiar with them). -- Alexandr.Malusek@imv.liu.se
