(Please CC: me, as I am not subscribed to this list) The other day, I accidentally filled up my /var filesystem, causing sendmail to start refusing connections and other fun problems. After removing a ~50MB file, `df` still showed the file system as being past full. Doing a `du -k` in /var showed that I had about 50MB used on this 100MB filesystem, but df still reported 100MB used. Even after killing sendmail and restarting it, it still believed /var was full and refused connections. Finally, I rebooted the machine, and everything began to function correctly. df now reports 50MB used on /var. Short of rebooting, what can I do to make programs recognize that the filesystem is no longer full? BTW: This machine is running 2.2.1: has this been fixed in a more recent release? *------------------------------------------------------------- * Robert Ricci - The Only Net / Intermountain Internet Support * Support Email: support@theonlynet.com * Personal: rricci@theonlynet.com *------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
