If you have a problem and boot into single user mode all the files you need for recovery will be on an unreachable partition. You can run with only 100GB in / but be sure to keep /bin, /sbin and /etc on that partition and link other things. Did you ever determine exactly WHAT used up the space. Nothing in those above should use that much - unless you have tons in namedb and that's easy to configure to point elsewhere. I'd suggest moving /bin and /sbin and the base /etc files back onto the / partition before you have a problem and need them. Read man 7 hier so you undestand what needs to be where for single user. -- Bill Vermillion - bv @ wjv . com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
