Personally, on all the machines I build, I have the luxury of having
decent sized hard drives in them, and I never have a /var partition that
small. 256M can be swallowed by all sorts of crazy things that spam to
/var/log/messages. I typically make my /var partition at least 1gb, but
never smaller.
Making the /var partition larger doesn't *fix* the problem, but it gives
you more time to be aware of a problem and react to it.
