I'm not sure if I'm posting this in the right place or not, or who's going to end up reading it, but here goes... I installed FreeBSD the other day, and accepted the Auto-defaults for partitions (/usr, /var, etc.) and the installation went fine. I then proceeded to install a few ports, and those ran fine. But last night I was downloading something and then I was getting an error saying /proc was full. As much as I've looked, I can't find out exactly what procfs is... I'm wondering how I can be out of space when I have 10 gigs free on my drive. Is it a question of resizing my partition scheme? Or are they called slices in BSD? I'm not sure what other information you guys need to answer my question. Even pointing me to documentation on procfs would help. Does it NEED to be mounted? If so, why? If not, why not? Any help would be greatly appreciated. =) -Sean Cull code_monk@hotmail.com _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
