Hey all, I've seen this come up before, but don't remember seeing an answer. After some 200 days of uptime, one of my boxes decided to play stupid and pretend like the /var filesystem was full. As you can imagine, this screwed up all sorts of things. Not until I did a reboot, did the machine start behaving properly. Now, as you can see with the information below, du doesn't show a difference of the before and after, yet df does. This problem, whatever it is, is a serious threat to FreeBSD's claim of stability. 200 days is a good, long time, and this machine is due for an update anyways, but I would have expected that it could have stays up indefinately. This box has been rock solid until it started loosing it's marbles. -Troy --------------------- # df .
