Did you rm all the files from the old /var/cache before you mounted the new filesystem on top of it? If you mount a new filesystem on /var/cache you can't see the original contents, but they're still there. Other than that, I've sometimes seen Linux ext2 filesystems that filled up completely not drop below 100% again until they were fsck'd. fsck didn't actually DO anything, it found no errors at all, but the filesystem went from 100% down to the level where it was supposed to be. -- Michael Heironimus -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
