First of all, this operation should only be carried out by members in the sudoers list; And old peeps should be gotten rid of, assuming /dev/earth is a kind of stack structure... So here's my suggestion: sudo tail /dev/earth > /dev/null Above operation may be repeated until /dev/earth has enough space to bring land prices down :-) Me. 2009/5/4 Tony Likhanga <tlikhanga@gmail.com>
cat /dev/null>/dev/earth

/dev/earth is 98% full. Please delete anybody you can.
cp /dev/null /dev/earth
Simple, right? It becomes empty in a split second:) Perhaps you need chflags noschg /dev/earth first, as it might be having the immutable bit set?
