I also have another box (a server) that is having some serious wierdness in the /var slice. This was only my second FreeBSD install and I went with the defaults for slice sizes which has been fine up until about a week ago when I noticed /var was nearly full, but a `du -x | sort -n` doesn't show me anything hoggging all my space up. Here is what I have: pentwo:/var# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0s1a 39647 27957 8519 77% / /dev/wd0s1f 2883558 849355 1803519 32% /usr /dev/wd0s1e 19815 17874 356 98% /var procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc but when I run a du from /var: pentwo:/var# du -x | sort -n 1 ./at/jobs 1 ./at/spool 1 ./cron/tabs 1 ./preserve 1 ./rwho 1 ./tmp/vi.recover 2 ./crash 2 ./msgs 2 ./tmp 3 ./at 4 ./mail 11 ./backups 19 ./yp 35 ./cron 51 ./run 58 ./log 190 . These results don't seem to match. What am I doing wrong here? I have gone through and SPACE_HOG_DIR="db ftp spool" mv $SPACE_HOG_DIR /usr/local/var/$SPACE_HOG_DIR && \ ln -s /usr/local/$SPACE_HOG_DIR /var/$SPACE_HOG_DIR` ( \ added for clarity ) These are not the "exact commands" I used .. I used the "mv ... && ln ..." individually for each dir in order of largest downwards. Did I play havoc with my fs by using mv on a dir with possibly live-and-being-accessed log file?
