Dear FreeBSDers,
One of my partitions (the one where I collect mail) just filled
up accidentally (and I lost 2 days worth of email, somehow).
This partition was little-used, I thought, but when this happened
I found that a directory listing shows 22246 bytes in the root of
this partition, with no files or anything that I can delete.
I have deleted 5 Mb of stuff to get by with until I solve this problem.
How did this space get taken up, and how can I reclaim it?
