hi sirs, thanks to all who help me in my case. after trying to backup, i face another big problems -- no more free hard disk available. so i move the whole /usr/ports to /var and sym.link to that one instead. this time i have a plenty of inodes free. once again thanks so much for all helps. and also Happy New Year to you all.
