Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I was going to post this to -questions but this list seemed more appropriate after searching the archives. If I'm in error, please let me know and I'll redirect it to -questions. I'm running FreeBSD 4.4-STABLE on my home PC. Yesterday, I did the usual cvsrun to download the source for the 4.4-STABLE branch and began my monthly "make buildworld". I have done this many times without a problem. Before I started, my / slice was at 89% capacity but when I dropped to single user mode and started the "make installworld", I got a couple of "stop" errors saying that / was full. "df -h" revealed that / was indeed at 108% capacity. In an attempt to free up some space, I deleted modules.old This brought / down to 98% capacity but I still get "stop" errors when trying "make installworld" Sorry, I didn't write down the exact error msgs and won't know what they are unless I try "make installworld" again. This isn't a problem with my /var/tmp or /tmp directories. /var/tmp only has "vi.recover" in it and /tmp has a few install.XXXXX directories in it but it's only at 2.4M I can successfully boot from kernel.old and get to my desktop but my Netscape won't work now so I'm posting this from Netscape Messenger in WIN98. Can anyone help me recover from this or should I forget it and just reinstall?
