The number of blocks available is the number available to an ordinary user. The filesystem keeps a margin of 5% which only root can use (man mke2fs(8)). df shows this: you have 963811 total blocks of which 923613 are used, but the remaining space is 4.18% (less than the margin so 0 available to users). -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C "Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never allow the righteous to fall."
