System: FreeBSD 4.8 with standard config on PII/400...used mainly as a 
backup server.

df shows...

My root file system is full and I can't account for why this is so. I 
used du on all of the directories on / and could only come up with 
28000K of usage - far short of what it's supposed to hold. The User 
Manual suggests that there my be some files not accounted for by du 
actually residing on the system. What is the best way to reclaim this space?

The computer still runs despite this file system being full so I'm no 
panicking YET.

Thanks
