Isn't yours? If it IS (notwithstanding your creation of a /home partition), that would explain why you have only 69M in /home but 3.9G in /usr. The two partitions appear to be adjacent. If they are, Partition Magic (or similar) could merge those two partitions non-destructively, and your problem would be solved. BTW, on my system, I have separate partitions for /usr/local and /usr. That seems to even the disk space usage quite well. /dev/ad2s1a 394M 249M 113M 69% / /dev/ad2s1f 6.9G 2.7G 3.6G 43% /usr /dev/ad2s1e 246M 191M 35M 84% /var /dev/ad2s1g 6.9G 4.8G 1.5G 76% /usr/local HTH -- Regards, Brian
