As part of the earlier thread it was suggested that the way to resolve the problem of a growing /var fs [as shown by df] and a stable /var [as shown by du] was to reboot into single user mode and run fsck. While this may work ... FreeBSD is not Windows <g>. Rebooting should not be necessary; looking for an alternative. Also, not clear to me why this will fix the problem, as opposed to just resetting the fs. Running 3.3 R /var is growing at 50K an hour. No log files being rotated, that I am aware of.
