X-mailer: Pegasus Mail for Win32 (v3.01d) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi - When I do a 'df' I can see that I have a negative 'avail' value. I'm rather surprised this is possible ! It's on the file system which is dedicated to the '/' mount point. My primary question is will the machine reboot in this state ? I don't want to find out by trying ! I know how I entered this situation and I'm trying to resolve it (ie get the stuff that's been spewed all over root off the filesystem) but in the meantime it would be nice to know what the situation is wrt a reboot. BTW what does it mean to -ve 'avail' value, has the O/S actually allocated more space than it was given in the first place ? I'm confused ! thanks richard shea. ***************************************************** Open Door Ltd PO Box 119-46 Wellington PH 04 384 7639 FX 04 384 7672 ***************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
