Create a separate /tmp filesystem. You should never let ordinary users (or daemons) write to the root filesystem. Unless you really need the nearly 4G of space you have in /var for a specific reason, you should be able to take some space out of there for your /tmp. 2. Use du to track down large files/directories, as was suggested by someone else. 3. Double check the size of hidden files in / and /root. 4. When you find out what is/was filling your filesystem, change the configuration so it doesn't happen again. > > Thanks, > > > Steve > > > > INFO: > FreeBSD 4.7-RELEASE-p10 / 80gig drive > > df was: /dev/ad0s1a 252M 250M -18.5M 108% > > df now: > FilesystemSize Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/ad0s1a 252M 230M 1.8M99%/ > /dev/ad0s1g29G 2.3G24G 9%/home > /dev/ad0s1f 3.0G 1.7G 1.0G62%/usr > /dev/ad0s1e 3.9G75M 3.5G 2%/var > procfs4.0K 4.0K 0B 100%/proc > > After the cras dmesg was filled with this: > pid 8967 (cp), uid 0 on /: file system full > pid 8967 (cp), uid 0 on /: file system full > -- Ean Kingston E-Mail: ean AT hedron DOT org URL: http://www.hedron.org/ I am currently looking for work.

Hi All, df: root partition at 108% capacity! Can't find why... After searching google freebsd.org I am no nearing to figuring this out, other than this is a "known" problem. Either I or the system managed to get the root partition back to under 100% but only just... I have looked for any large files that might be taking up space but have yet to locate anything over 3meg. Any suggestions, ideas, thoughts gratefully received. cd / du -hsx * -h "Human-readable" output. Use unit suffixes: Byte, Kilobyte, Megabyte, Gigabyte, Terabyte and Petabyte -s Display an entry for each specified file. (Equivalent to -d 0) -x File system mount points are not traversed. Look for the largest directly, cd into that and repeat until you get down far enough to find the offender. Works for me... -philip ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

check /tmp for files run: # cd / # du -h -d2 | grep M this will show the total amount of disk usage in MB for files in directories 2 deep. you should be able to find the big ones from that (you may have to drill down a tad) -- John Brooks [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Aaron Gibson > Sent: Wednesday, June 15, 2005 4:30 PM > To: SteveW > Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: df: root partition at 108% capacity!
