How can I fix this, what will happen when it > actually does get full??? You have probably filled up the /tmp directory with some rubbish. Or you may have some old /kernel.xxx files lying around. The default sysinstall now allocates 100M to the root filesystem. If you have persistent problems with over filling /tmp, you could create a /usr/tmp and symlink it to /tmp. > Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/ad0s1a 49583 49469 -3852 108% / > /dev/ad0s1f 13928449 2389469 10424705 19% /usr > /dev/ad0s1e 19815 6755 11475 37% /var > procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc > pid210@wakasashi:/net 0 0 0 100% /net > pid210@wakasashi:/host 0 0 0 100% /host Your apparent df strangeness is due to the fact that there is a variable overhead within the filesystem for metadata, and that `avail' is therefore only an estimate.
