It means your /tmp partition is getting full. When there is plenty of space, the system writes files very quickly, with little regard for minor amounts of space being wasted. When the disk fills up, the system switches to SPACE optimization, which makes saves take longer, but is much less likely to waste any space. Either delete some files, or get a larger partition for /tmp. With /tmp, it's very likely that there are a lot of files in there that could be deleted. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
