Is this correct? Please advise an optimal solution. Well, "optimal" depends on your goals. Looks like you've got a server log file you rm'ed from the file system, but the server is still logging to it. You need to convince the server to close the log file, which will cause it to be removed from the disk. If worst comes to worst, doing a shutdown and reboot will solve the problem. <mike > Thank you, > Chris Jesseman > > [0] /var#fsck /dev/da0s1e > ** /dev/da0s1e (NO WRITE) > ** Last Mounted on /var > ** Phase 1 - Check Blocks and Sizes > ** Phase 2 - Check Pathnames > ** Phase 3 - Check Connectivity > ** Phase 4 - Check Reference Counts > UNREF FILE I=94 OWNER=root MODE=100644 > SIZE=18173952 MTIME=Nov 15 22:09 2000 > CLEAR? no > > ** Phase 5 - Check Cyl groups > 55 files, 17867 used, 1948 free (108 frags, 230 blocks, 0.5% fragmentation) > > > Misc. info from my 4.1.1 Stable box: > > [0] /var#fsck -p /dev/da0s1e > /dev/da0s1e: NO WRITE ACCESS > /dev/da0s1e: UNEXPECTED INCONSISTENCY; RUN fsck MANUALLY. > > [8] /var#cat /etc/fstab > # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass# > /dev/da0s1e /var ufs rw 2 2 > > [0] /var#mount > /dev/da0s1e on /var (ufs, local, writes: sync 1486005 async 715463, reads: sync > 20046 async 6527) > > [0] /var#du -h /var > 1.0K /var/at/jobs > 1.0K /var/at/spool > 3.0K /var/at > 2.0K /var/crash > 4.0K /var/cron/tabs > 5.0K /var/cron > 2.0K /var/msgs > 1.0K /var/preserve > 52K /var/run > 1.0K /var/rwho > 1.0K /var/tmp/vi.recover > 3.0K /var/tmp > 20K /var/yp > 1.0K /var/pwcheck > 91K /var > [0] /var#df -H > Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on > /dev/da0s1e 20M 18M 372K 98% /var > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
