UFS normally optimizes file placement for performance. Unfortunately, in order to do this it has to write files in such a way that it sometimes wastes some space. When the partition gets close to full, FreeBSD automatically switches to "space optimization" which doesn't waste any space, but doesn't perform as well. The short answer is, "This is happening because your partition is too close to full. It's not an error, but you should clean up some files or add space." It also has nothing to do with the difference between 5.5 and 6.3. -- Bill Moran http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
