Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG At the risk of this being a stupid question, I have run out of space on my /usr filesystem while doing a make install on Bind 8.2 (its FreeBSD 3.1-Release). Here's a little info: Output of df: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd1s2a 198399 27897 154631 15% / /dev/wd1s2h 597719 44324 505578 8% /home /dev/wd1s2f 694607 666675 -27636 104% /usr /dev/wd1s2g 694607 49705 589334 8% /usr/local /dev/wd1s2e 99183 2608 88641 3% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc Output of ls /usr (reformatted to save space) X11R6 bin bind compat games include lib libdata libexec local mdec obj ports sbin share src tmp Now comes the potentially stupid question: Is it reasonable to move some of these subdirs to /usr/local and make a soft link to them to create more space on the /usr filesystem? Or won't that work? Any suggestions appreciated. Cheers Loren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
