Dear Gurus, Well i have a problem with a freebsd system . 1. /dev/ad0s1a is 109 % full and is mounted on / is there a way i can create space on this . thanking all .
I would try: #du -sh /* that shows which mount-point has the most stuff; then plug in a external-harddrive and copy some of the stuff to it.

If you have other partitions, then "yes, you can". For starters, you can move /var to another partition. Just see which other partition has enough space and do: cd /that/partition mv /var . cd / ln -s /that/partiton/var var I guess you get the drift. Move /var to the larger partition and then create a symlink in / -- Best regards, Odhiambo WASHINGTON, Nairobi,KE +254733744121/+254722743223 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ "If you have nothing good to say about someone, just shut up!." -- Lucky Dube
Hi Sir, It depends on your install. In FreeBSD /dev/ad0s1a is the root (/) partition. if you created a specific partition for others i.e /var then they will be allocated a different mount point i.e /dev/ad0s1d. A standard FreeBSD install will be as follows. /dev/ad0s1a = / /dev/ad0s1b = Swap /dev/ad0s1d = /var /dev/ad0s1e = /tmp /dev/ad0s1f = /usr If the partition was custom this will be different. If you can copy and paste the output for your "df -u" command we might be able to help more. Also let us know the FreeBSD version etc. The suggestions you got from Wash will work, but it all depends on whats in your / partition. Regards, Michuki. Odhiambo Washington wrote:
