Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.bugs Subject: Out of space at / ( weird !). Date: 17 Feb 1995 00:55:06 GMT Organization: Internet Online Services Lines: 32 Message-ID: <3i0s5a$7cb@ankh.iia.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: haven.ios.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi folx. It looks like this : after system start "df" shows some 24% usage at / If you'll run df regularly ( say every 20 minutes) it will show you that there less space left every time you run df - like 2-4% per 30 minutes. But if you run du - THERE IS nothing at / which consumes disk space and there is NO CHANGE of space used at / . So you'll end up with 100% used / and you have to reboot. After you run fsck on / - it will CLEAN the filesystem out , so it will go back to 24%. It looks like the kernel is losing blocks at / . This is SNAP 021095 , Gateway 2000 PCI Bustek SCSI-2 128Mb of RAM. I've upgraded to the latest SNAP two days ago and I didn't see the problem with last SNAP I used ( 020295). Please , personal E-mail if any1 here has any clue ( I'll repost the solution , if any). No other problems mentioned :) -- ==== SY RK
