I sometimes get reports of file system full but not accurately because when viewing the drive with df -k I find there is adequate space on the drive. Usually this is casused by log files considered larger than the available space on the /var directory. I would like to see if this in fact the case.

Can somebody please remind me what commands I can use to troubleshoot this current condition? I'm not sure I understand what you're asking correctly, but these FAQ entries may help explain what the filesystem is doing: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/disks.html#DU- VS-DF http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859- 1/books/faq/disks.html#DISK-MORE-THAN-FULL you know I found those pages and they were completely unhelpful. lsof looks a lot deeper and sees reserved space that df and du does not show. read my original post. I already explained that. cheers, Naoh ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

'lsof' is the answer I was looking for. I want to look at open files that have not been written to the drive.
