ran out of disk space var

I installed sarg but the reports ran overnight and took up 100% of the space on my /var folder.
How can I run sarg in a different folder but have it accessible from the web?

[root www]# df

/dev/sda5 4956284 2817148 1883304 60% /

2.8GB is not enough? OK, create a directory where there's space, say /freedisk/sarg.
ln -s /freedisk/sarg /var
Save your output there with option "-o /var/sarg" when you start sarg.
If apache complains about accessing the directory, then you may need to add permission for /var/sarg in a conf file under /etc/httpd/conf.d/. Check /var/log/httpd/error_log.

The free disk is /dev/sda2 but if I create a folder there, won;t it mess with the already mounted folder /var/spool/squid?

If it's all used by squid then it is not free. Does squid need a 233GB cache?

It can probably be less but if I change the partition, won't it mess with the existing cache using 17%?
TBH, it's been on 71% for a while now.

Won't changing the existing partition mess with the running squid service?
