FFS sets aside about 8% of space that isn't normally usable. Only root can use it. I believe the reasoning for this is to keep the file fragmentation to a minimum. There are postings in the mailing list archives that go into more detail, as you may also want to look at man tunefs. -Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: Erin Fortenberry [SMTP:erinf@lusardi.com] > Sent: Wednesday, June 09, 1999 11:07 AM > To: 'questions@freebsd.org' > Subject: Full FS > > /var is 109% full, where does the extra space come from?
