Yes, looks like reboot does not cleanly unmount the filesystems so the fsck is run on boot. The strange thing is if I stoped all the daemons and tried to unmount /var, the machine freezes. This part is also strange: I've started to move /var things to /usr, just because I didn't know what to do more. I've moved /var/log to /usr ... then I've moved postfix spool to /usr and discovered that now, /usr is not freeing it's space any more and /var is begining to free it's space if i create and delete something from it. Strange... I've upgraded postfix from 2.0.13 to 2.0.16 and now the disks are freeing space for 3 days now. It's early to say that fixed the problem but at this time it looks like it. Don't ask how, i don't get it, can not find any connection between postfix and this problem. Does this make a bell ring to anyone ? :-) Lowell Gilbert wrote: > Is the fsck needed on reboot? That would be a hint...
