The pwd_mkdb processm finishes normally. There are no files left, except that df shows the drop: [/etc] root@iaehv> df . ; pwd_mkdb -p aaaa ; df . Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 49383 18014 28899 38% / Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 49383 19078 27835 41% / I have absoloutely no idea of whats going on here. But you can imagine the system becoming rather unusable :-( I verifed things on freefall, and current doesnt have this bug anymore. So it has been solved, sometime ago. As you can understand, I'd like to have some fix for 2.0R. Is there anyone who knows what is causing this? -Guido
