What does `df -i' report for your /usr filesystem? Every file needs an i-node of itself on a ufs filesystem, and having many thousands of files takes many thousands of i-nodes... At home, I can see something like the following: giorgos@gothmog[20:36]/home/giorgos$ df -i /usr Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/ad0s3g 4636750 1793606 2472204 42% 205145 377253 35% /usr The iused, ifree and %iused columns are those you're interested in. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
