(disk) I doubt if your problem is related to df .. If you do that 3 times, does the box reboot each time?? That would tie the reboot and df...assuming I am making a technical guess...I would reboot, do a df -h again, see if that reboots the box, do it again and see if it happens again and then post to the list all my hardware details and any strange settings/customizations I might have done, being the novice that I am....but for me now, [wash@alouette:~]> df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s2a 73M 31M 36M 46% / /dev/ad0s2e 1.6G 1.3G 149M 90% /usr /dev/ad0s2f 34M 28M 3.1M 90% /var /dev/ad0s1 2.0G 1.7G 302M 85% /win procfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /proc [wash@alouette:~]> uname -msr FreeBSD 4.1.1-STABLE i386 Nothing ...no reboots..so I think it is something else... => => => Eric B. => =>> Hello.. =>> =>> Sorry for the cross post.
