And that was because /tmp got filled up I ended up rebooting the machine and all seems well. I have 2 questions. 1) After I deleted the offending file from /tmp, it was cleared but swap wasn't. If I would have been patient, would mfs return space to swap? 2) I see that I can do a -s size in mount_mfs. How would I put that in fstab? Paul. -- I don't suffer from insanity. I enjoy every minute of it.
