I am not sure about centos 4.x? Can't you extend the /var filesystem online without reinstalling the OS.

When you installed the system did you use LVM (Logical Volume Manager)?

When you do df is would look somethign like:

/dev/mapper/RootVG-var
####### ####### ####### 51% /var

I named my Volume group "RootVG" yours could be different.

If you use LVM you can extend/reduce partitions.

Otherwise its going to be a bit harder.

One Option is your not using LVM:

1) Backup your databases
2) Add New Harddrive
3) Mount to somewhere /var/mydatabases (whatever)
4) Reconfigure mysql to use new drive for databases (basedir, i beleive)
5) Restore Databases

That would clear up rest of var for logging and what ever else and you would have your mysql dbs on its own drive(s). You could install 2 Drives and setup raid.
