Frank:
Why not just calculate the size of all your print jobs on a daily/weekly
basis, and expand /var
accordingly? /var is your catchall for accounting files, scratch space for
the spooler and web
browsers, and, probably the biggest space culprits, log files. You'll find
wtmp grows with
each login; just touch it weekly, and that will take care of a lot of size.

Simon,
Our problem is running out of space in the /var filesystem. Several time
we have ran out of space when users have many print jobs in the queue and
the /var/tmp directory takes the rest when more print jobs are done. Also,
the wtmp file grows and takes up alot of space. We want to control the
situation and was wondering if any othert users had the same issue and what
they did!

The solution depends on the cause of the problem. Do you know what
particular file(s) are taking up the space?
You can create additional filesystems under /var. Depending on what they
are you may have to put them in rootvg, so that they're available
immediately at boot. I would want to know exactly what was causing the
problem first, though: better to avoid creating extra filesystems and
making things more complicated.

To All: Every now and then our /var/tmp space becomes full and users cannot add any more print jobs. Has anyone else experience this problem and what did they do to resolve it? Can the /var/tmp be redirected or mounted on its on filesystem? Once we removed the wtmp file to save space but we don't want to do that all the time.
