Once /var gets to about 80% full the system really starts slowint down and I can't hardly X. At 90% it is unusable, as far as X is concnerned. Here is a sample of the output from xdm-errors log, which has gotten up to about 85mb: XFree86 Version 4.2.1 / X Window System (protocol Version 11, revision 0, vendor release 6600) Release Date: 3 September 2002 If the server is older than 6-12 months, or if your card is newer than the above date, look for a newer version before reporting problems. (See http://www.XFree86.Org/) Build Operating System: FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE i386 [ELF] Module Loader present Markers: (--) probed, (**) from config file, (==) default setting, (++) from command line, (!!) notice, (II) informational, (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. (==) Log file: "/var/log/XFree86.0.log", Time: Tue Oct 22 00:36:26 2002 (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config" moutb(3CE, E) moutb(3CF, 20) moutl(40, 80) Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/Speedo/, removing from list! minl(40) moutl(4, 0) moutl(C, 800) moutl(18, 40D00D0) minl(40) moutl(8, 55D) And this will continue on for 6.5 million lines. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Mike ps my xfree86.0 log is about 85 mb too, but it has a lot more unique messages in it, if you need I can post it too.
