Try the following commands: # cd /usr # du -sk * This should show you the total size of every /usr subdirectory. Look deeper in /usr subdirectories, and try to find out which parts of /usr occupy most of the space you gave to it. BTW, 1.4 GB is a *lot* of space. I have the sources under /usr/src and a buildworld that fills my /usr/obj right now, several ports installed in /usr/local (including XFree86 version 4), and I haven't cleaned my /usr/ports/distfiles in a while. Yet I haven't reached 1.4 GB in /usr: hades:~$ df /usr Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s3f 4065262 1146320 2593722 31% /usr Giorgos Keramidas FreeBSD Documentation Project keramida@{freebsd.org,ceid.upatras.gr} http://www.FreeBSD.org/docproj/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
