Looks like you made the /usr partition much too small. The others have plenty of space so you should probably just repartition. If it's a small home system with a single physical disk, you might as well lump everything in one big happy partition.
Those files you have been looking at are not particularly large; you are not using your time effectively.
The user partition is 1.8G in size which was increased from about700M in the last install (this was supposed to solve the file system is full problem but it didnot). The handbook even advised to add the /usr/local (slice?) weighing in at another 1.8G in size Plus also advised to add /var to prevent the / (root) slice from getting too full. Even if I reformat and reinstall at some point i will need to know how to delete files or DL programs which i have a lot of right now. Sorry I dont know how to repartition in FreeBSD in windows i would just use partition magic or disk management.
as for the one big partition i go through setup and it tells me to set partitions then it tells me to setup slices .... and this system will have another OS win XP home (yes install it first then FreeBSD to keep the boot intact)
I will have to try the one big partition and maybe let freeBSD auto config the slices too? or whole drive as ther is no rush to install windows yet I have it on another system.
Can anyone tell me how to display files(other than ls) and then delete them as this is the crux of my problem right now.... thanks I have to go now..
as the say Regards

Hello everybody, a very basic question.
Inspite of me deleting huge files in a filesystem(AIX 5.3) in oracle folder, the filesystem when i check using df -k still shows 100% full. Does that mean there is a process still pointing to the files which i deleted. how do i work around this.
Thanks!... (3 Replies)

cmdk(7D) Devices cmdk(7D)
NAME
cmdk - common disk driver
SYNOPSIS
cmdk@target, lun : [ partition | slice ]
DESCRIPTION
The cmdk device driver is a common interface to various disk devices. The driver supports magnetic fixed disks and magnetic removable
disks.
The block-files access the disk using the system's normal buffering mechanism and are read and written without regard to physical disk
records. There is also a "raw" interface that provides for direct transmission between the disk and the user's read or write buffer. A sin-
gle read or write call usually results in one I/O operation; raw I/O is therefore considerably more efficient when many bytes are transmit-
ted. The names of the block files are found in /dev/dsk; the names of the raw files are found in /dev/rdsk.
I/O requests to the magnetic disk must have an offset and transfer length that is a multiple of 512 bytes or the driver returns an EINVAL
error.
Slice 0 is normally used for the root file system on a disk, slice 1 as a paging area (for example, swap), and slice 2 for backing up the
entire fdisk partition for Solaris software. Other slices may be used for usr file systems or system reserved area.
Fdisk partition 0 is to access the entire disk and is generally used by the fdisk(1M) program.
