Hmm... bad taste to reply to one's own posts... but, I need to make a correction: ** If a process dies out, the kernel should release all resources used by that ** process. The only processes using the /var filesystem, are the ** default system ** processes. I can't make any claims otherwise. After re-reading other replies, this should read: If a process has a file open, the kernel should not allow a user or another process to delete said file. ** ** I do know that my mail server has been up for 239 days without problem, and ** another box I admin is a few days short of a year, and it's doing ** mail, web, ** nat, dhcp, ftp, etc... I don't have to do any manual maintenance on those ** boxes or any other box that I administrate. ** ** In the 5 years I've been using FreeBSD, this is the first time I've seen a ** problem of this nature that I couldn't resolve without rebooting. ** So yes, I ** consider this an issue that puts a dent in FreeBSD's claim of ** stability. It ** needs to be addressed. ** ** What I don't get, is why everyone is getting so defensive over this. All I ** did was point out a potential problem, and everyone's jumping on me. ** ** Y'all need to take a pill or something. Chill out. ** ** -Troy ** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
