Re: / partition full
Definitely take a look at the /usr/home directory like Mehul stated. Try
something like this to get a list of large files in that file system:
find /usr -type f -size +50M -exec ls -la {} \;
or
find /usr/home -type f -size +50M -exec ls -la {} \;
The above commands will print out a list of files above 50 Megs.
Also, you might have large log files lying around the file system taking
up space.

Having a separate /var partition, in particular, has saved my bacon several times, at least until I figured out how to turn mysql-bin files off.

This is really strange. You can use `du` to find out which directories in the / partition are using the diskspace. Specifically, /etc, /root, /bin, /sbin, and /tmp are worth checking. Have you done anything as root in the last day or two? Specifically, installing Perl modules creates temp directories and a lot of temporary files used to build the modules, and has been the source of this kind of problem for other people for quite some time. - Jeff Jirsa To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
