I have an OpenBSD 4.4 machine running just a few things; OSSEC, named and openvpn.
After it's been up for a few weeks I start seeing discrepancies between what df tells me is free space and how much space du reports as being used. A few weeks ago I got 'disk full' errors and rebooted the thing which "solved" it for the moment, but not permanently. Here is an example of what I'm seeing: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/sd0a 3.6G 1.1G 2.3G 32% / # du -sh * 2.0K altroot 4.5M bin 44.0K boot 6.6M bsd 5.3M bsd.rd 38.0K dev 2.8M etc 94.0K home 2.0K ipp.txt 6.0K lost+found 2.0K mnt 2.0K openvpn-status.log 78.0K root 10.7M sbin 2.0K stand 0B sys 2.0K tmp 505M usr 10.2M var This looks to me like there is a discrepancy of several hundred megabytes and each day I get an approximate 1% increase in the df used report. How can I find out what's using this space and how can I prevent it? thanks, -- Charles Farinella Appropriate Solutions, Inc. 603.924.6079
