Greetings. This is regarding a FSBD 4.10-RELEASE system. df -h shows the root file system is 109 percent utilized: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/aacd0s1a 126M 126M -9.9M 109% / The culprit is a rewindable tape drive in /dev. It shows up as an ordinary file, not as a device (like the nonrewindable device, /dev/nsa1): -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 83046400 Nov 20 01:02 /dev/nsa1 crw-r----- 1 root wheel 14, 16 Nov 24 05:50 /dev/rsa1 Question: How do I correct this so that: 1. /dev/nsa1 shows up as a regular device; and 2. /dev/nsa1 doesn't fill up the filesystem Many thanks. Regards, David Newman Network Test
