Can anyone help? -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Cleaning up / Date: Tue, 05 Nov 2002 14:43:21 -0500 From: I am Insane To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG I need some help. I'm not a complete newbie but I'm new enough to not know which files are actually needed in my / filesystem. my current df -k shows Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 100750 82898 9792 89% / /dev/ad0s1g 10080382 766404 8507548 8% /usr /dev/ad0s1h 15421366 26432 14161226 0% /usr/home /dev/ad0s1e 201518 3332 182066 2% /var /dev/ad0s1f 2015918 144 1854502 0% /var/mail procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc and I am aware that if / gets to 100% the system has a good chance of crashing. how can I tell what files can be removed in order to free up some space? and/or how can i tell which files are the largest and need to be addressed?
