I would speculate that some process has unlinked a file but still has it open so the space is still in use. Try procstat -af | grep /var and look especially for lines that have a huge number in the OFFSET column (although I'm not sure that's definitive -- the file descriptor could be positioned at an offset less than the file size). -- Ian _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
