The behavior IS to be expected if you know how BSD file-systems work. There is 10% disk space that is not available for USER storage (in other words, for users, 10% of the disk is already claimed and can't be used). This does not hold for the system in general. Just remember to use "User-df" to see what the user would have available when monitoring disk usage... There... hope that's better! -- ======================================================================= #include =:^) Jim Jagielski NASA/GSFC, Code 711.1 jim@jagmac2.gsfc.nasa.gov Greenbelt, MD 20771 "Kilimanjaro is a pretty tricky climb.
