Where else can I check to see what is filling the root > partition? Run du -sk * at the base of the file system (root in this case) where the problem is. Then cd in to suspicious directories - those that look excessively big and run du again Keep following bloated directories until you find your problem. I would guess you have logs (var/log) and mail (/var/mail) still in root and maybe even /tmp but who knows until you track it down a little better. You may need to either revise your disk layout or at least move some thing to a bigger partition and make symlinks. ////jerry > > Thanks in advance > > --will > > _______________________________________________ > freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org" >
