I just booted my system today, and got a series of complaints about no space left on the device of /var, and everything running out of inodes. The system is an April 22 -stable (cvsup'd about 21:00 UTC). I couldn't even start X until I killed sshd (starting X and killing sshd were correlated - I claim no causal link since I don't really understand inodes). df -i shows: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on/dev/ad0s2a 151166 77092 61982 55% 3228 15842 17% / /dev/ad0s2f 72631944 4168376 62653014 6% 221683 8902155 2% /usr /dev/ad0s2e 100750 41922 50768 45% 12793 5 100% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% 50 4034 1% /proc (I don't know what it was before killing sshd because I just learned the -i option a few minutes ago :) I don't have anything special in /var, just the default stuff. I suppose I should have made /var bigger originally (I'm still used to a 2GB disk), but 100MB seemed quite adequate for a few logs. I certainly don't see a gazillion files floating around. How can I see where all of my /var inodes are going? Thanks, -David -- Everyone who believes in telekinesis, raise my hand...
