You are short of space all right. The system reserves (when newfs-ing) some 8% of the disk capacity for use by root and system processes so that tha system will keep on going even though the disk is full. Normal users can not add anything. Freeing up space is the easiest - if you can:) Or get another disk (of sufficient size) and put your entire /usr/home on that one. vinum(8) can also be of use. I also see your / is full. My guess is that /tmp is full. You could symlink (ln(1) -s) /tmp to /usr/tmp, this will not save you any space but will stop the system from filling up /tmp (as it will now go to /usr/tmp instead) du(1) with -s and/or -x options are also useful for analyzing what is up. /M ---------------------------------- Michael Josefsson, MSEE mj@isy.liu.se This message was sent by XFMail running on FreeBSD 3.4-STABLE ---------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
