Thank you all for your answers. Turns out that a Java process was using all of the space. I restarted it and the problem was solved.

Thank you all for helping me to resolv this, also by giving me very useful commands that I will use in the future.

Hello. I have a server using FreeBSD 8.2, and recently I’ve noticed that /var is getting full But du hs /var shows me this:

14M    /var/

How Can I know what is using var to free space?

Thank you.

OS info:
FreeBSD edh.edh 8.2-RELEASE-p3 FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE-p3 #0: Tue Sep 27 18:45:57 UTC 2011 r...@amd64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64

I would speculate that some process has unlinked a file but still has it
open so the space is still in use.  Try

 procstat -af | grep /var

and look especially for lines that have a huge number in the OFFSET
column (although I'm not sure that's definitive -- the file descriptor
could be positioned at an offset less than the file size).
