I'm sorry, I wrote my mail in haste. Yes, you're correct, but what you're seeing is commonly the result of softupdates. I've seen it happen many MANY times, and it's easily reproducable. However, it goes away after a few minutes. If yours is that way constantly, I can't really explain what's going on. I'm just pointing out that negative disk space used is something I've seen many times, and it's always gone away on its own fairly quickly. What you have might be some corrupted filesystem, but someone more familiar with UFS/FFS will have to comment. Output from ffsinfo(8) on that filesystem may be useful. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
