Hi.

My mail server is bringing up these entries in the syslog. Is it
something to worry about ?

It's running 2.2.5-RELEASE, and disk structure looks like
/dev/wd0a       49231    13794    31499    30%    /
/dev/wd0s1f    434879   283829   116260    71%    /usr
/dev/wd0s1e     98479    12439    78162    14%    /var

The system requirements said Windows 95 or better; so I installed FreeBSD.
