That's why I posted the question, to find out if anyone had seen anything like this before. >That's why I suggested temp files. They _would_ disappear after a >reboot. BTW are you running soft-updates? No soft-updates. Haven't gotten past the "thinking about it" stage yet. What I'm thinking is to try it out on the news server first. I'll add a check of /var/tmp to the cron job I'm going to set up to watch and log free inode count over time. Maybe it'll turn up something. All I know right now is there are more inodes free 28 hours after reboot than there were immediately after reboot when only 2% were in use. Anyhow thanks for brain-storming on it. -Mitch To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
