If you have text files, you can edit them, just delete the lines you don't want... but it's a tedious job ! Compressing the files will be easier, cleaner and faster !

Is there a way to take space from the /opt slice (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s5) and then put it in the /var (/dev/dsk/c1t0d0s1)? In theory, I should be able to ufsdump /opt and /var to another drive.

lqr_progress_set_init
LQR_PROGRESS_SET_INIT(3) LqR library API reference LQR_PROGRESS_SET_INIT(3)
NAME
lqr_progress_set_init - execude custom code before each rescaling operation
SYNOPSIS
#include <lqr.h>
LqrRetVal lqr_progress_set_init(LqrProgress* p, LqrProgressFuncInit init_func);
DESCRIPTION
The function lqr_progress_set_init sets the hook init_func to the LqrProgress object pointed to by p.
The function init_func is of type LqrProgressFuncInit, whose prototype is defined by:
typedef LqrRetVal (*LqrProgressFuncInit) (const gchar* init_message);
Each time that the function lqr_carver_resize(3) performs a rescale operation (recall that it can perform more than one rescale operation
at each call) this function will be called first, with a string argument passed through the parameter init_message, which is different for
horizontal and vertical rescalings.
The message arguments can be set with the functions lqr_progress_set_init_width_message(3) and lqr_progress_set_init_height_message(3).
The default values for newly created LqrProgress objects are:
Horizontal:
"Resizing width..."
Vertical:
"Resizing height..."
RETURN VALUE
The return value follows the Liquid Rescale library signalling system.
