Date: Mon, 16 Jun 1997 16:45:04 GMT Organization: Duke University, Durham, NC, USA Lines: 10 Message-ID: <33a56bb2.99111828@news.duke.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: async249-188.async.duke.edu X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent 1.1/16.230 Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:42901 I was helping a friend install FreeBSD over the phone and somehow during the partitioning the /var file system was left out, now /var is just a directory under root. Is this going to cause any problems? We have a fairly large / partition and so far it is only at 67%. If this will cause problems what is the best solution? Thanks Charlie Reese
