That wouldn't have helped this. When you newfs, 8% of a disk is put aside to 1) help reduce fragmentation 2) give some extra breathing room. Only root processes are allowed to go into this reserve area. When they do, df shows > 100% capacity. 'man newfs' for changing the set-aside percentage. --Ludwig Pummer ( ludwigp@bigfoot.com ) ICQ UIN: 692441 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
