it looks like /dev/ has a file in it instead of a device node e.g. if you do dd if=/dev/ad0s3a of=/dev/ads3s3a ( instead of ad3s3a ) unix will kindly create a file ads3s3a for you and write to that ( don't ask how i know ) in any case, 'cd /dev ; ls -la | more' and look for a big file also, i tend to use 'cd "mountpoint" ; du -kx | sort -n' to make it easier to spot the big directories. regards, siegfried. -----Original Message----- From: Michelle Weeks [mailto:tristan11@mindspring.com] Sent: Tuesday, 2 July 2002 10:04 To: Philip Hallstrom Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: / slice full >> when i run du -hcsx it give the output: >> >> 124M . >> 124M total > > be sure to add the "*" at the end... > > # cd / > # du -hcsx * > thanks! that's what i was missing. the output from du -hcsx * is: 6.0K COPYRIGHT 3.8M bin 392K boot 2.0K cdrom 0B compat 94M dev 2.0K dist 1022K etc 2.0K exclude 0B home 3.5M kernel 3.5M kernel.GENERIC 6.0K mnt 5.1M modules 22K proc 122K root 11M sbin 2.1M stand 0B sys 86K tang 506K tmp 1.4G usr 4.7M var 1.5G total var, usr, tmp, and proc are all on their own slices. the root slice has 128M and kernel seems to be the biggest file, but still it is only 3.5M To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
