However, you'll have to post more info to the list for anyone to be able to help. What partition is filling up? How big is your hard disk? Depending on which partition is filling up the advice may differ. What is the output of the command `df -h'?

Re: Hard disc space availble? Hard drive size
Hi again, Actually, if you are really at FreeBSD 2.2.8 as your other message seems to imply, I might be a little cautious about using fdisk in this way. More recent versions of fdisk are much more sophisticated and work well. I vaguely remember that this might not be so easy under FreeBSD 2.xxx, though I don't have one around now to check.

Without any switches telling it to write, it will give the total disk size in (512 byte) blocks and list the slices and their sizes and tell which ones are bootable. Note that with modern disks the geometry (cylinders, tracks, sectors) is sort of a virtual geometry and not the actual physical layout of the disk. So, su to root fdisk da0 (for example of a SCSI disk 0, substitute the appropriate device name - use df or look in /etc/fstab) jerry > > Dan > > ___ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Generally I do df -k so I can see sizes listed in KiloBytes, but you can check the man page and pick your own set of switches. jerry > > Dan > ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
