1.3G of my /var missing
df -h reports that on /var 1.5G of 1.9G are used and only 237M of free space remain. However doing a du -hd 1 /var and summing up the results I only get to less than 200M of used space, so there are 1.3G unaccounted for. fsck in single user mode does not recognize a problem. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

The usual answer is that a process has a unlinked file open however as you went to single user this would have eliminated this. Are you swapping to a file on /var?

Mark No, I have a separate partition for swapping. I even tried to turn off soft-updates, but to no avail. I'd like to find out what causes this, but If I cannot, I will simply backup /var, run newfs and restore it. ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Sounds like you need to make a few entries in /etc/newsyslog First thing I do when I add any new apps is give their logs a life cycle. All too quickly logs become bulky and you find /var holding it's breath. -Clay ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

If you let the tools do their jobs you won't get silly errors like that. Both du and df default to returning 1k blocks. You will note that the usage figure is identical by both methods.
