I ran df and, sure enough, the / fs has 245M of 258M used: Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 248M 245M -17M 108% / This was certaintly a surprise, because all my data is located on other partitions, so i ran du -h -d1 / to find the culprit, but i still couldn't find what is using up all my / disk space! What can i do to find out where all my disk space has gone?!?! Thanks for all help ryan
