>From your df(8) output, /etc isn't the problem; /usr is has filled up. It also looks like you have only allocated 1GB for all partitions & held out for 70G for /home. Given the information presented, It is unclear if you allocated all space on your drive. If you didn't, then you might consider growfs(8), however, growfs can only be used to grow a partition into *adjacent* free space. Unfortunately, I suspect you may have allocated all space on the drive, so this will neither be a simple or a easy solution to implement if it is possible at all. Because of this, I would suggest studying Section 4.5.2 & 14.3 of the FAQ. I will also suggest that you consider the following redistribution of space: /dev/wd0a 500MB / /dev/wd0f 1G /tmp /dev/wd0d 1G /var /dev/wd0e 20G /usr /dev/wd0g 5G /home In this manner, if you fill up any particular partition, you can create a new partition from the ample free space available. Also note that all applications/packages go into /usr. So does source & all its object files if you ever recompile the system or compile ports. If this is what you are going to do, consider adding more partitions such as: /dev/wd0h 5G /usr/src /dev/wd0i 5G /usr/obj /dev/wd0j 5G /usr/xenocara /dev/wd0k 30G /usr/ports If you ever compile large ports such as Java, OpenOffice.org, KDE, or GNOME, you will need *lots* of space in /usr/ports. Learn to watch how the partitions fill up via df(1), & don't expect that you will get the distribution of space correct the first time. You may have to go through a few iterations before you see how you use space over a longer period of time. Given that a new version of OpenBSD is released every six months, reinstalling with every new release may be worthwhile until you are familiar/comfortable/happy with your chosen distribution of disk space. _______________________________________________ Openbsd-newbies mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.theapt.org/listinfo/openbsd-newbies
