So a quick check of LSOF on on of my systems _does_ show deleted files, but only in the full listing, not with the +D option. LSOF output line shows: dd16230 cbabcock1w REG9,2 23444104 48146 /home/cbabcock/testfile.txt (deleted) ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

As a test, when one of the boxes gets low, try killing and restarting all of the processes LSOF displays with resources open on /var, and see if the utilization changes. -Chris ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

[Soekris] MFS filling up on net4521
Hi, I'm not very familiar with memory issues let alone OpenBSD's MFS memory allocation/release algorithms, but the following strikes me as being a bit odd: net5501: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 98348628666264765031%/ mfs:265097855 2913 455039%/var net4801: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 98348628700264731031%/ mfs:184707855 3271 419244%/var net4521: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 496894424180 4787090%/ mfs:221037855 5485 197873%/var All boxes have an MFS partition mounted onto /var. Amount of RAM varies from (by heart - I'm not sitting next to these boxes right now) 128MB (net4521) to 512MB (net 5501). The 4521 has the least amount of memory, that's for sure. What happens is that the disk usage on the MFS partition stabilizes at around 40% when I use a log rotating script. But with the same script, the MU keeps growing on the 4521 towards 100%. A significant part of it does not seem to be accounted for as actual disk usage: df -h: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on mfs:22103 7.7M 5.4M 1.9M74%/var du -sh /var: 1.8M/var/ After a reboot it's back to a sane value (~20M). Leaks? Allocation issues? As said, the net4521 is lowest on RAM. Or am I staring the Stupid and Obvious right in the eye here?
