Hello, so during a portupgrade on my laptop the root fs, with soft updates enabled, became full. So I removed a bunch of stuff to make a few gigs available. I checked and df reported more than a gig of free space - so I re-ran portupgrade. Then I noticed it was full again, with df showing a negative amount of free space. I removed even more stuff, and rebooted just incase there were more blocks to be freed. After the reboot df showed a negative amount of space again. So I removed even more data (rm -rf /usr/ports/distfiles) and now I had 115 meg free df claimed. I then re-ran df in quick succession a few times and watched diskspace rapidly decrease to a negative 600 meg or so (note: the decrease was perhaps 150 meg/second, so it cannot have been a process writing data to disk in the background). After a couple more reboots and a manual fsck in single user mode I still have the same problem (on both CURRENT and 5.2.1-RELEASE kernels). What to do? -- / Peter Schuller, InfiDyne Technologies HB PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <peter.schuller@infidyne.com>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to getpgpkey@scode.org E-Mail: peter.schuller@infidyne.com Web: http://www.scode.org
