I did the du, and found the following to be the biggest hogs (most to least): 1. /usr/src 146,330 blocks (that would be 512k each, no?) 2. /usr/X11R6 107,036 3. /usr/ports 35,120 > You may be able to do a make clean in /usr/src, /sys/compile/*, and > /usr/ports. This will remove object files. It only takes cpu time to > rebuild them. I did the make clean, on /usr/src, /usr/ports, and /sys/compile. Afterwards, I did a df and /usr is just as full as before.
