There's usually a certain amount set aside for the superuser - to keep critical system processes running. It is usually 8%, but may be modified at newfs(8) time or later by using tunefs(8). See the respective manual pages for more info. Once the filesystem gets this full, any non-superuser write request returns an 'out of disk space' error, while superuser processes may still continue working, until the actual disk space is exhausted. Hope that helps. G'luck, Peter -- The rest of this sentence is written in Thailand, on To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
