The ports tree eats up a LOT of inodes, out of proportion to how much data space it uses. Your /usr partition is pretty close to full as it is on the data side. If that's all the space you have, you'll probably have to re-newfs /usr with a lower ration of bytes/inode. You could also pick through the ports tree and delete subtrees that you have no use for (such as the language-specific parts for languages you don't speak). -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com _______________________________________________ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
