I can't seem to find where 16gig of disk space is being used though, but, for instance, I had 12gig of files in /var/vmcore (from crash dumps) that I removed, which should have increased me to 16gig free, but I'm still at 4.6gig and drop'ng ... The system isn't particularly busy: venus# iostat 5 tty amrd0 cpu tin tout KB/t tps MB/s us ni sy in id 1 116 0.00 0 0.00 32 0 28 1 40 1 452 4.29 343 1.43 39 0 52 0 9 0 225 5.21 258 1.31 32 0 47 1 21 2 35 6.21 270 1.64 13 0 51 0 36 1 38 4.46 268 1.17 19 0 49 1 31 1 32 4.81 261 1.23 16 0 51 1 32 And the drive is 7x18gig in a RAID5 configuration .. OS is 4.8-RC FreeBSD 4.8-RC #38: Tue Mar 4 22:43:18 CST 2003 with a patch from Tor Egge to fix a problem with how vnodes are kept track of and reclaimed/reused ... I've tried doing a 'sync', figuring that maybe it would force all outstanding writes to the drive, but that seems to make no difference either ... I'm doing a du right now to see if I can see anything large out of the ordinary, but is there any way (maybe using lsof?) of finding out what, if any, processes are holding open a large file?
