<format warning> Please, wrap your lines at 70 chars </format warning> Sure, do a # cd / # du -skx * | sort -n You'll get a per-directory list, with the least used first and the most used last. Then cd to the most used directory and repeat the du until you find what's eating all your disk space. Some of the candidates are: /tmp /var/tmp /var/mail /var/log /home Fer On Mon, 23 Jul 2001, Jason wrote: > When I try to send e-mail I get a disk full error.

I can't find anything. If I type du -x ad0s1a shows up as having 49583 blocks used, but I have no idea where these are. I relatively new to the UNIX like environment and I don't know what to do to solve this problem.
