Message-ID: <20030109194441.B648-100000@astro.ioffe.rssi.ru> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII From: Alexey Koptsevich X-Delivery-Agent: TMDA/0.62 Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I have just had a problem. Some process have filled /var. Lpd spool directories were really huge, so I thought lpd was the reason, stopped it and removed all print tasks from its spool directories. But df still showed that /var is 109% full. I tried "lsof|grep var", it showed nothing suspicious, then tried "lsof +L1", it showed no unlinked files in /var. I I looked into maillists but found nothing helpful, and thus rebooted the system. While rebooting, it wrote Waiting for 60 sec for syncer to shut down... <60 sec passed> Syncing disks 3611 3611 3611 Giving up on 3611 buffers and rebooted. After reboot fsck and all other stuff went OK. I use FreeBSD astro.ioffe.rssi.ru 4.5-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 4.5-PRERELEASE #5: Tue Aug 6 19:53:51 MSD 2002 on dual PIII machine. I would be grateful for an idea, what was the reason of such a weird behavior. 2Thank you, Alex To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
