Gentles Just did a csup and rebuilt world and kernel, as usual. Rebooted to single user mode, and kicked off the installkernel. This bombed with an "unable to write to device", and "device full". On rebooting, df shows / at 107%. Has something changed? I had simply used the default partitioning offered when freeBSD 8.0 was installed. Can anyone suggest what could be pruned out to bring / back to under 100%? (FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE on an old Compaq with a 30GB HDD) TIA JeffD _____________________________ M 0427565791 jeff.dowsley@mac.com

There was / default size of 512MB and due to larger kernel during your installkernel backup copy of your existing kernel was done and then installed new kernel tree /boot/kernel. Unfortunately 512MB is not enough and that's why snapshot version of 8.1-STABLE got 1024MB / partition by default now.
