The files in /stand are actually just one file with multiple directory entries, so they consume a total of just 1MB. The problem is likely that /tmp or /var is on the root filesystem and is filled up. Check both, especially /var/log and /var/tmp. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
