Maybe run the various df's periodically alongside in another terminal. So you can see what grows. You could use 'watch' for that or write a simple script. Include a 'date' command in this. And also put a 'date' after the csplit. This might help correlate the output. Include both filesystems in the df's. Succes! -- Regards, Mike Jonkmans It was all so different before everything changed.
