On my recent -current, I've noticed that /var is filling up with unreferenced files. I think I've noticed this with some other partitions but they aren't as active and I didn't check carefully. fstat(8) and lsof both agree that the files are not open and I've unmounted all nfs clients. I don't think it happens to all files, I suspect (but haven't confirmed) that it happens when an open file is deleted and then closed. I've noticed this for a while on crashes but assumed it was just processes keeping open files around. fsck seems to clean up the files but in the case of /var, this basically means rebooting the system. Has anyone else seen anything similar to this? -- Peter Jeremy
