Hi everybody!
Thanks for answering my questions and helping me out with this problem.
It's been fixed now and I managed to locate the problem with the find /
-type d | awk 'length 900' command.
What caused it was something that looked like a directory loop or at least
a very deep list of sub
Can't seem to figure out the problem with MAXPATHLEN.
locate: integer out of +-MAXPATHLEN (1024): 1029
In my /etc/locate.rc I have pruned several directories (even the most
obvious) - still the locate DB exeeds well over 1GB before outputting this
error message.
I have moved the tmp dir for
Btw, is /etc/locate.rc being read at all?

There's also a periodic script to remove older files from /tmp which
may help.
My gut reaction is: what's taking up so much room?

Thanks to all for your input!
Editing /etc/periodic.rc seem to do the trick, but now I faced a different
problem which I've never seen before:
locate: integer out of +-MAXPATHLEN (1024): 1029
There are some directories that contains A LOT of small files I think. Need
to investigate.
Also
How can I find which directories break the MAXPATHLEN variable?
or can I somehow run the periodic script in verbose mode to see the output?

It's easy to do this with find and awk:
% find / -type d | awk 'length LIMIT'
where LIMIT is the numerical value you want to be exceeded (in
your case, MAXPATHLEN).

If you use zfs, that is easy... zfs set quota=NNG pool/tmp
if not
try to mount tmp in memory...
in /etc/rc.conf
tmpmfs=YES
tmpsize=400m
reboot
this would create a /tmp in memory (swap)

This will happen automatically if you go to multiuser without a
writeable /tmp. See /etc/rc.d/tmp
I have a problem with the semantics of the rc scripts for this and
var, though - if you are going to use a memory-backed filesystem, you
should reserve all the space at the outset. Bad things can

Looks like something, maybe your mail program has a large file open -

Apparently someone out there keeps trying to resend that awful
huge mail file, so whenever you restart, it gets stuck in that
same condition. If you can track down the source of the file,
either nuke it or block it.
