There's another (easier) way, that doesn't require the fs to be rebuilt: (single user mode) # mount /usr # cp /usr/etc/tunefs /tunefs # umount -a # /tunefs -m 2 /dev/rz1g # /tunefs -m 2 /dev/rz1h ... # mount -a -t ufs This changes the minimum amount of free space from the default (10 percent) to a more adequate [in a disk-space-starved environment, like ours :-(] 2% (that's the number 2 in the /tunefs commands). -- Alan Rollow alan@nabeth.enet.dec.com -- --- Salvador Pinto Abreu BITNET/Internet: spa@fctunl.rccn.pt +---------------------------------+ UUCP: spa@unl.uucp | Departamento de Informatica +----------------------------------+ | Universidade Nova de Lisboa 2825 Monte Caparica, PORTUGAL | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+
