I am running FBSD 5.2.1 and my /var partition is giving me cannot write to disk errors, disk is full. I cleared out what I could and got it down to about 98% but I have some strange findings which I will show below.
[/var]> df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 248M 55M 173M 24% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1e 248M 38K 228M 0% /tmp
/dev/ad0s1f 70G 53G 11G 83% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 248M 223M 4.5M 98% /var


#cd /var
# du -hd1
2.0K    ./account
6.0K    ./at
16K    ./backups
4.0K    ./crash
390K    ./cron
5.8M    ./db
2.0K    ./empty
2.0K    ./heimdal
508K    ./log
1.9M    ./mail
4.0K    ./msgs
2.0K    ./preserve
40K    ./run
2.0K    ./rwho
66K    ./spool
1.3M    ./tmp
20K    ./yp
2.0K    ./games
1.0M    ./ftp
394K    ./usermin
2.0K    ./.snap
11M    .

Now how can /var be 11Meg and also fill up 98% or 223 Meg at the same time? What is eating up my partition space? Uptime is 149 days and I suppose I'm due for a reboot but I have others with processes going on the box and I hate to reboot.
