Mysql vs /var partition...

[Matt Virus]

Hi All:

My mysql database is growing, it has subsequently filled the /var/db 
partition to capacity.

I tried moving the mysql dir and symlinking it to /var/db/mysql which 
didn't work.  I also tried mount_null from the /usr partition to the 
/var/db/mysql folder...in both instances, the mysql server will not start.

Is there another way around this problem or do i need to somehow resize 
my /var partition?
