Hi all, VERY new to FreeBSD. And this is quite a newbie question..... I keep on getting these in /var/log/messages: Jul 2 10:29:17 grock sendmail[15373]: f628THB15373: SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot write ./dff628THB15373 (bfcommit, uid=0): No such file or directory Jul 2 10:29:18 grock sendmail[15374]: f628TIB15374: SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot write ./dff628TIB15374 (bfcommit, uid=0): No such file or directory Jul 2 11:24:15 grock sendmail[15486]: f629OFB15486: SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot write ./dff629OFB15486 (bfcommit, uid=0): No such file or directory Jul 2 11:24:15 grock sendmail[15487]: f629OFB15487: SYSERR(root): collect: Cannot write ./dff629OFB15487 (bfcommit, uid=0): No such file or directory I think the problem is /var/spool/mqueue, so i checked the permissions(copied these from a linux box): grock:/var/spool/mqueue# ls -latr total 4 drwxr-xr-x 9 root wheel 512 Jun 27 17:39 .. drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 512 Jul 2 03:08 . i tried making it all 777, root.wheel and other stupid things. Hmmm....maybe that's not the problem directory. What else should i look at? (possible) problem origin: A while ago, i had a problem where my /var was 108% full. So, I decided to shuffle things around, and moved my /var/spool/mqueue to /usr/var.... and made a link to /var. That didn't free up any space, so i moved a whole bunch of stuff over to /usr. Nope, didnt' help. So i just rebooted, and var came down to 1%. So that probably means it's some kind of virtual fs/ramdrive or something? Where can i read up some more about that, as i see that /var is growing again.... Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ad0s1a 1984478 55474 1770246 3% / /dev/ad0s1h 25387406 16237624 7118790 70% /home /dev/ad0s1e 496094 646 455762 0% /tmp /dev/ad0s1g 9923450 2619084 6510490 29% /usr /dev/ad0s1f 496094 29414 426994 6% /var /dev/ad1s1 39246312 23862024 13390632 64% /backup procfs 8 8 0 100% /proc Anyway, i think the sendmail problem came with the shuffling of the directories. Can someone please point me in the right direction? TIA -- byeeeee Vuk I am Homer of Borg. Prepare to be --- Oooh! Donuts!
