Hello,

I have just had a problem. Some process have filled /var. Lpd spool
directories were really huge, so I thought lpd was the reason, stopped it
and removed all print tasks from its spool directories.  But df still
showed that /var is 109% full. I tried "lsof|grep var", it showed nothing
suspicious, then tried "lsof +L1", it showed no unlinked files in /var. I
I looked into maillists but found nothing helpful, and thus rebooted the
system. While rebooting, it wrote

Waiting for 60 sec for syncer to shut down...
 <60 sec passed>
Syncing disks 3611 3611 3611 <etc.>
Giving up on 3611 buffers

and rebooted. After reboot fsck and all other stuff went OK. I use
  FreeBSD astro.ioffe.rssi.ru 4.5-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE #5:
  Tue Aug  6 19:53:51 MSD 2002
on dual PIII machine.

I would be grateful for an idea, what was the reason of such a weird
behavior.

2Thank you,
Alex
