This is very helpful. Usually in OpenBSD, you create a symbolic link /var/www which has limited space and have it point to /home/www where actual data is stored and which has more space. This particular example could be Create a symbolic link named /var/www and point it to /home/www: # ln -s /home/www /var/www
