As far as I can tell, the contents of /var (not including symlinks to data on other filesystems) does not include more than 17MB worth of data... is there any obvious reason why df might report otherwise? Thanks... Erik. -- E. L. Rothwell PGP Public Key at http://www.keyserver.net/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
