Is the 7% saved for disk space overuse? > Or it's just a bug? The speed of a filesystem goes down dramaticly when it's almost full (due to fragmentation). So on FreeBSD, 90% actual disk usage is shown as "100%". A normal user can't write more to the disk than this 90%. Only root is allowed to fill up the remaining free bytes. (Conclusion : Your disk still isn't entirely full, but it would be faster if you would clean it up :) grtz, Daan -- Control the lights in my room: http://www.Danovitsch.dnsq.org/webcam Moo, ]:8) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
