Another sympthom is : do a make install in sbin/bin/lkm with not enough space on it to contain all the / executables and two kernels (that is my current situation, my root partition size is inherited from my 1.1.5.1 setup and is only 12 MB). At some point it will say "No space left on device" and all the binaries that were not installed take space till the next fsck :-( Easely reproductible here. That's the main reason I've never been able to complete any 2.* "make world" :-((( I don't have the DAT/Exabyte yet that would enable me to backup everything and reinstall so I must wait for some decent backup device or buy a new hard drive... -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD keltia 2.1.0-Development #9: Sat Feb 18 19:21:00 MET 1995
