I was met with that message apparently from /etc/periodic/weekly this morning. Actually, it looked like this: Rebuilding locate database: sort: write error: No space left on device locate.mklocatedb: cannot build locate database df shows: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Cap. Mnted On /dev/wd0a 31775 22575 6658 77% / /dev/wd0s1f 1813231 1311336 356837 79% /usr /dev/wd0s1e 27679 6664 18801 26% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc Do you think that's really full enough to run out of space during makewhatis? If so, is it bumping up against the end of /usr or /? I'm guessing /usr. I'm sort of hoping I am running out of space. I can show this message to my girlfriend this morning, and I haven't gotten my Christmas present yet. Hmmm ... Thanks. Greg
