Date: Sat, 13 May 2000 21:18:08 PDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, A very surprising thing happened when I was installing some packages off the FreeBSD 4.0 CD. /stand/sysinstall hiccupped and said something about being out of inodes on /var. Thereafter I got the same message whenever I tried to install any package. Now when I create a file using "vi" or any app tries to write something some message usually comes up about being out of inodes (so far messages are like PID xxx out of inodes on /var etc), or about there being no space on the device (vi gives this message). I did a df and this was the output: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad3s1a 49583 24913 20704 55% / /dev/ad3s1f 4125061 1305486 2489571 34% /usr /dev/ad3s1e 19815 12619 5611 69% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc === ==== It would seem that the proc filesystem is out of place. But isn't it something that keeps info on processes? ALso it's not a partition of it's own...how does this work? As the output above shows there is plenty of disk space - so what's going wrong? I also did a fsck manually - there were no inconsistencies. Could someone please help me out?
