Toshiba 4005CDS
Running 4.0-STABLE snap 07/08
My "root" ("/") directory is getting full showing 89% used.
I made it a little larger than the default on install at 50MB.
I do have a couple of spare kernels lurking in there but still looks
like I need to enlarge it somehow or symlink something elsewhere.
Trouble is , that seems a little shaky in case of emergency boot and "/"
is all that is mounted.
I'm pretty new and don't really know what is important to leave on
"/", and especially how to move root to new larger partition. I do
have space on an `anex' partition.
Looking for ways to trim down I looked in /stand and see two really odd
looking files. They look like something I created with sloppy
commands or typing:
ls /stand shows in addition to the normal file, two that look like
this:
-sh
[
Running `file' on either gives:
/stand/[: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (FreeBSD),
statically linked, stripped
ls -l shows:
-r-xr-xr-x 30 root wheel 1687052 Jun 24 05:06 /stand/[
Same size as all the other executables in there.
