The past few weeks my free space on /var was running dangerously low. After some investigation, I found out that the used space was actually an open file, and here is what lsof showed me: natd 1736 root 4w VREG 0,84 410420438 23670 /var (/dev/ad4s1d) Normally, natd is only supposed to open it's log file: natd 34254 root 4w VREG 0,84 218703 23582 /var/log/alias.log I've since disabled logging to alias.log and the problem has not re-occurred, however I would still like to know what I could have done to cause that, or if maybe it's some kind of bug. -Brian
