[ug-bosug] /var directory is full

[H N Vijay]

Ravi,

If you want use the space available in the other partition/slice use can 
create a soft link.

Eg: Let say you have disk space in /space . You can create a soft link

#ln -s /space/data /var/tmp
#ls -l /var/tmp
total 2
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          10 Feb  9 12:12   tmp  -> /space/data
