What do you end up with > in your root file system? Victor Manuel Carranza Gonzalez <victor@usac.edu.gt> tipped me off to the answer. (hurray!) It seems to be that the Linux compatibility libraries eat up all the space as they are installed to /compat. What I was instructed to do was move the libraries to /usr/compat and write in a symlink, ln -s /usr/compat /compat and that seemed to clear up the problem. I am back down to a reasonable 49%. Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 31775 14418 14815 49% / The things we do for DOOM... However, this might be a good item to document, as I could find the answer written nowhere. Perhaps in the 2.2.2 errata, along with the login.conf problem? And finally, where would one find the 2.2.2 errata? I have the 'Complete FreeBSD' book, looked on the website, and found no such errata. Thanks, -Zander
