Hello, I've had such problems with a 2.2.5 machine. I did not see any monstrous file, but the / partition was filled : there was a temporary file which had been deleted but not closed by a process (so a reboot was enough to reclaim this space). You can check the open files with 'lsof' (must be in the ports) You can also mount another partition under the /tmp directory (which is usually sitted in the / partition). Anyway, there is no simple way to change the size of a FreeBSD partition (partition Magic won't help ....;-) TfH > I'm using FreeBSD 2.2.7. with Samba, Apache and Appletalk mainly as a > mail server for approx 30 users. > The / partition 31Mb keeps overflowing although there is no significant > increase in disk file storage. > Apart from deleting the occasional xses.errors/root file approx15 Mb, > which doesn't seem to release any of the / file system, the only way of > reclaiming storage at present is a reboot. i.e. / 108% before and / 45% > after. > Can I maybe increase the / partition without a full rebuild? > > -- > ========================================== > Paul R-Davies > Computer support officer > Department of Computer Science > University of Wales Swansea > Singleton Park > Swansea > SA2 8PP > > Telephone: 01792 295651 > Email: p.roberts-davies@swansea.ac.uk > http://cslucifer.swan.ac.uk/~cspaul/ > ========================================== > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
