It seems the culprit is ssh. sshcrypt and sshutil and sshproto are taking a good 15M. Do you know if these are nessesary to run ssh properly? Last thing I need is to mess ssh up as I can only access the box via ssh. There's hardly anything in my /tmp. Thoughts? -----Original Message----- From: Dru [mailto:genisis@istar.ca] Sent: Monday, July 02, 2001 4:04 AM To: Brandon Peyton Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Change disk size..

The most likely culprits are /root or /tmp and du -h /root du -h /tmp will let you know if this is the case or not. If the culprit is /root, get rid of what you don't need and don't surf, etc. as the superuser. If it's /tmp, use MFS instead. AFAIK, Partition Magic will see your FreeBSD partitions but won't let you resize them.
