SUMMARY partition full .. need quick solution

[Dave Filchak <dfilchak@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all,

Thanks to all who replied. There are a number of good suggestions there 
and I will use some in order to install a new hard drive to give my 
system more breathing room.

However, in the short run, I wanted to find out what was causing this 
partition to fill up. As it turns out, it was the bayes database lok and 
toc files that are created from SpamAssassin. I use MailScanner with 
Clamd and SpamAssassin, which uses Bayes. So, to provide help for my 
immediate situation, I created a bayes directory on the /usr partition 
and moved all the files over to the new partition and created a symlink 
over to the new directory on the larger partition. This solved my 
immediate space issue on / but I will need to increase the capacity for 
sure. I am not sure if this will cause any performance hit so I will 
have to monitor this closely.

Thanks again to everyone.

Dave
