I now know what, but not why :) For those of you interested. I have a 2nd disk in the machine (ad3) which has a backup parition (ad3f). This partition is mounted to a mountpoint (guess: in root) to /mnt/vol1. For strange reasons (who knows why?) mount fails (see below), therefor the volume gets not mounted and the backup sits in the mountpoint directory, filling up... /. Btw: I moved all /modules /sbin /bin to their right places back. Now the mount fails as showed here. The backup partition is not mountalbe, but another, on the same disk, is... caramba# mount /dev/ad3f /mnt/vol1 mount: /dev/ad3f: Operation not permitted caramba# mount /dev/ad3f /backup/slice1 mount: /dev/ad3f: Operation not permitted caramba# here another partition: caramba# mount /dev/ad0s1a on / (ufs, local) /dev/ad0s1e on /usr (ufs, local) /dev/ad0s1g on /usr/www (ufs, local) /dev/ad0s1f on /var (ufs, local) procfs on /proc (procfs, local) /dev/ad3e on /mnt/vol1 (ufs, local) caramba# umount /mnt/vol1/ caramba# the disklabel entry: caramba# disklabel ad3 # /dev/ad3c: type: ESDI disk: ad3s1 label: flags: bytes/sector: 512 sectors/track: 63 tracks/cylinder: 16 sectors/cylinder: 1008 cylinders: 31206 sectors/unit: 31456593 rpm: 3600 interleave: 1 trackskew: 0 cylinderskew: 0 headswitch: 0 # milliseconds track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds drivedata: 0 8 partitions: # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] c: 31456593 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 31206*) e: 4194304 0 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 0 - 4161*) f: 12582912 4194304 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 4161*- 16644*) g: 12582912 16777216 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 16644*- 29127*) h: 2096465 29360128 4.2BSD 1024 8192 16 # (Cyl. 29127*- 31206*) caramba# --> no, i can stop backups for the moment, or repoint them to another partition, e.g. ad3g, but why does mount not work on that respectively give "operation not permitted"? Thanks Arie
