[LUG] Modifying size of /var partition

 

Hi All,
 
Just wondering if someone could help me out with this predicament.
 
I currently have a very small /var partition which is filling up daily with log files. Over the weekend the capacity figure stated 107% which I have now fixed by moving some files out.
 
Filesystem        1K-blocks    Used       Avail        Capacity    Mounted on
/dev/twed0s1d    253678        60068     173316     26%          /var
 
Can anyone offer guidance on if it is possible to increase the size of this parittion easily without causing harm.
I have to admit that I do not fully understand the figures above in order to convert these into actual k/b or m/b figures.
Is this 25M or 25,000 bytes??
 
I tried the /etc/fstab file but there is no reference to actual sizes only locations and type of file system.
 
This is on a FreeBSD 5.3 box.
 
Regards
Phil.
