My sincerest (and public) apologies to Alfred. There is something pretty fundamental that I was missing -- this problem is not restricted to just a softupdates filesystem filling up, and if it's the root filesystem then there can be a crash. No, this problem appears to be that if *any* softupdates filesystem fills up, it can crash the system. Now that I understand what it was I was missing, I'm much more reluctant to use softupdates in general, at least until this problem is fixed. Thanks for understanding, and helping me to more clearly understand the problem! -- These are my opinions -- not to be taken as official Skynet policy ____________________________________________________________________ |o| Brad Knowles, <blk@skynet.be> Belgacom Skynet NV/SA |o| |o| Systems Architect, News & FTP Admin Rue Col.
