These two questions are discussed so frequently on this and other lists that you should be able to get numerous explanations with a small search on Google and I would be surprised if there were not a FAQ on this. So, check the web page. Basically, du and df look a slightly different things and there is a difference between how much root and regular users are allowed to write to a filesystem. ////jerry > [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" > _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
