FreeBSD allocates some extra space to protect you from this situation. To clean up the problem, remove extra files from /tmp and /root. > I should have made my root partition larger when I initially installed but, > ahh... too late now.

I've got a few machines running with 20 or 30 MB / partitions and have never run into problems. Most likely you've accumulated a bunch of files in /root or /tmp which has over-filled your / partition. On my systems, /root is a symlink to /home/root, and /tmp is a symlink to /usr/tmp, which means that they'll always have enough room. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
