is getting very close to full. This is very dangerous for the server
and can cause unexpected errors to occur. You either need to move some
files to another storage device and delete them from the Cobalt server
or delete them altogether. Consult the documentation for help adding
storage to your Cobalt server.

How do I increase the system space?

Thanks,

Is your system up-to-date with a released patches from cobalt ?

Cause there was an update regarding the issue you mention a while ago.

Move non-essential stuff onto the /home partition and make a softlink:
ln -s

you can safely move a lot of man and doc files without the RAQ noticing. I've even moved Tomcat, Java and other system stuff to free up space

Unfortunately the RAQ's have a really bad partition allocation, so you will be forced to deal with this at some stage unless you are only running very basic static sites

Well, I got the same. I did a search here and put what I did in a document. This is it:

cd /usr
mv doc /home/
mv man /home/
mv info /home/

ln -s /home/doc doc
ln -s /home/info info
ln -s /home/man man
