Check the inode number of each file in /rescue (ls -li /rescue). You'll notice they're all the same, which means they're all hardlinks to the same file. "du /rescue" should report under 4MB. Your space is probably being taken up somewhere else. > What is going on here?

You missed this section: The /rescue tools are compiled using crunchgen(1), which makes them considerably more compact than the standard utilities. -- Dan Nelson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
