OK.. get you now..

The main thing to keep in mind is that you'll need a little bit of
free space in order to grow /var. I grow /var often on many systems.
There's also a possibility that you'll need to run tune2fs to grow the
journal to allow a larger maximum filesystem size. This cannot be done
with /var online though.
