I am running FBSD 5.2.1 and my /var partition is giving me cannot write to disk errors, disk is full. I cleared out what I could and got it down to about 98% but I have some strange findings which I will show below. [/var]> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 248M 55M 173M 24% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1e 248M 38K 228M 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1f 70G 53G 11G 83% /usr /dev/ad0s1d 248M 223M 4.5M 98% /var #cd /var # du -hd1 2.0K ./account 6.0K ./at 16K ./backups 4.0K ./crash 390K ./cron 5.8M ./db 2.0K ./empty 2.0K ./heimdal 508K ./log 1.9M ./mail 4.0K ./msgs 2.0K ./preserve 40K ./run 2.0K ./rwho 66K ./spool 1.3M ./tmp 20K ./yp 2.0K ./games 1.0M ./ftp 394K ./usermin 2.0K ./.snap 11M . Now how can /var be 11Meg and also fill up 98% or 223 Meg at the same time? What is eating up my partition space? Uptime is 149 days and I suppose I'm due for a reboot but I have others with processes going on the box and I hate to reboot.
