user, can you describe a reproducible phenomenon? Did you delete something from /var/log and you're waiting for df to reflect that? This is a common one ... if a process has a filehandle open, and you delete the file, the blocks on disk are not freed until the process closes that filehandle. If this is what's thwarting you, check out lsof. :) Cheers, -danny -- http://dannyman.toldme.com/ _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
