I'm trying to increase the size for /var in the following filesystem, but can't figure out how to do it correctly. Can anyone help? thanks


[root]# df
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 521748 210560 284684 43% /
none 1033704 0 1033704 0% /dev/shm

/dev/hda6 5114432 5114412 20 100% /var


(parted) print

You don't seem to have any empty space into which you can expand that partition.

Yes, I realized I can't expand it. But how do I reduce the size of /dev/hda7 for /home and use it for /var. thanks.
