In a properly-configured system, the files in / shouldn't change (nor should new files be added), so / should should stay at 89% used indefinitely. By default, user home directories are in /usr/home (which has lots of free space), and system logs and mail are in /var (which also has lots of space.) > and/or how can i tell which files are the largest and need to be addressed? I wouldn't delete any files from / unless you're 110% sure that they're not needed. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
