After cleaning up several hundred megs of object files the 'df' reported that I had space, however allocations kept failing. I'm pretty sure this is because the deleted files were still held in the snapshot, which makes sense, however I don't think that df(1) should be reporting space that isn't just there yet. -- -Alfred Perlstein [alfred@freebsd.org] 'Instead of asking why a piece of software is using "1970s technology," start asking why software is ignoring 30 years of accumulated wisdom.'
