Need Help with Partitions for a Linode

For all you linode experts out there......When I look at the Linode
dashboard I see the following:

Debian Disk image    2 GB
swap                 512 MB
/home                6 GB
/tmp                 1 GB
/opt                 3 GB
/var                 2 GB

When I look at my Debian profile I see
/dev/xvda    Debian disk Image
/dev/xvdb    /home partition
/dev/xvdc    /opt partition
/dev/xvdd    /tmp partition
/dev/xvde    /var partition
/dev/xvdf    swap

When I log in and run df -h I get
li84-151:~# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/xvda             2.0G  2.0G     0 100% /
tmpfs                 181M     0  181M   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                   10M  464K  9.6M   5% /dev
tmpfs                 181M  4.0K  181M   1% /dev/shm
/dev/xvdb             5.8G  5.0G  807M  87% /home
/dev/xvdc             2.9G  1.2G  1.8G  39% /opt
/dev/xvde             2.0G   38M  1.9G   2% /tmp

For some reason /tmp is on /dev/xvde and /var is missing (actually it is
under /, which is probably why I have 0 space).

What did I do wrong in my setup? How do I fix it without loosing the
contents of /var?

Thanks!

Mark
