On my /var filesystem, temp files are created and deleted, but when they are deleted, the free block list is not updated. If I use 'df', it will say that there are 5,100 blocks used, but when I run 'du' in the /var directory, it only shows 3,000 block used. The number using 'df' seems to continue to grow, until eventually it thinks the filesystem is full, and it stops accepting mail, etc. Only a reboot solves this problem. What am I missing. I have compiled the standard kernel, except that I have configured an extra network card. Glenn Hunt ghunt@emx.ca
