The minor questions I have are why > does linprocfs show up twice, and why does my swap not show up? But the Linprocfs shows up twice because you have mounted it twice, probably by mistake. If it does not appear twice in /etc/fstab, I don't know how it happened, but you can have any number of them just by running "mount /usr/compat/linux/proc" lots of times. Most people only mount it once, though :-) Swap space is not shown by "mount". You can view your swap partitions with "swapinfo" or "pstat -s". > big question is where did the missing HD space on ad1s3a go? > 14332M total - (2930 usedM + 10254M avail) = 1148M unaccounted for. My > swap (on /dev/ad1s2) is only 94M. Anyone have any ideas? That is the 8% reserved for root use (actually the space is reserved so FFS can do a decent housekeeping job, but root can use it in an emergency).
