var is full...

[Whit Hansell]

Hey y'all,
my Var directory is 100% full.  I have googled abouit it and reallly 
haven't gotten a decent idea of what I can safely delete from var. I 
have bot tmp and cache subdirectories and can easily fump the tmp but it 
is very small and won't really give me much room.  Can anyone with 
knowledge give me the subdirectories in var/cache that I can empty to 
get a reasonable amount of free space?  Running Jessie on an amd64 box.

I have run into this problem for the last three installs.  I always use 
the basic linuc installer recommends for var size and it is always too 
darn small.  In the past I have enlarged the partidtion/directory using 
gparted to move free space but it is a total pita and the last time it 
left the drive w. some open space just hanging out that I could not get 
put into the directoies.  That did not affect the operation but left the 
drive in a way that was sloppily set up.

And how much of the var/log files can I adjust?  Those files are pretty 
large and would give me more time before I woulod have to do it agian.

Thanks in advance.  i'm really frustrated with this situation and really 
appreciate any help.

Sincerelly,
Whit
