The /var partition is about 2 GB in size. 'df' shows me that 900MB are used - but that is impossible! I checked with 'du -k' thsi partition and du showed up a usage of only 14 MB - what seems more realistic to me. How to check the partition? where is the memory gone? At the moment this machine has the most recent 4.4-RC installed and at this time I started again a make world. Last time 'MAKEDEV' after a mergemaster failed due to a bug in the script (after compilation, kernel install I restarted and tried again MAKEDEV all in /dev but with the same failure to exclude kernel <-> device dependencies with MAKEDEV). Indeed, the first problem occured likely due to lack of memory. But I can not realize why the local lpc and lpq commands can not connect to the local lpd. :>Hartmann, O. wrote: :> :>>Hello. :>> :>>Well, every year again we have strange troubles with our relatively :>>primitive set up printserver.
