However, if something is actively filling the partition, then you need to find it and kill it first. Otherwise it will just fill up whatever space you clear out leaving you back where you started. Try checking /var/log/messages to see if anything is reporting the disk full. You should be able to identify any active process trying to fill the disk that way. -- -- Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
