Here's what df's output looks like: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 128990 83408 35264 70% / devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1f 257998 404 236956 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1g 74757832 5774972 63002234 8% /usr /dev/ad0s1e 257998 21122 216238 9% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc /dev/ad1s1e 76955976 49105248 21694250 69% /export Regards, > Andre Guibert de Bruet | Enterprise Software Consultant > > Silicon Landmark, LLC. | http://siliconlandmark.com/ > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
