Filesystem /var "stuck" at 105% full
For reasons I haven't figured out yet, X is making a massive log file in /var/log (Xorg.0.log) that quickly fills up whatever filesystem it's mounted on. The temporary workaround is theoretically deleting this log file to free up space... however, when I do this, the filesystem still says it's full!
Is there a 'recycle bin' feature I might be missing? I'm giving OpenBSD a go courtesy a LiveCD (MarBSD). Here's the outputs of df and mount for reference: Code:
$ df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on root_device 660M 660M 0B 100% / mfs:3019 7.7M 114K 7.2M 2% /tmp mfs:27037 63.2M 63.2M -3.2M 105% /var mfs:28467 9.3M 6.0M 2.8M 68% /etc mfs:9803 15.0M 11.0K 14.3M 0% /root mfs:22785 2.3M 32.0K 2.1M 1% /dev mfs:29244 25.2M 23.3M 633K 97% /binmfs mfs:7970 326M 226M 83.8M 73% /usr/local mfs:21696 96.8M 72.0M 19.9M 78% /home $ mount root_device on / type cd9660 (local, read-only) mfs:3019 on /tmp type mfs (asynchronous, local, size=16384 512-blocks) mfs:27037 on /var type mfs (asynchronous, local, size=135000 512-blocks) mfs:28467 on /etc type mfs (asynchronous, local, size=20000 512-blocks) mfs:9803 on /root type mfs (asynchronous, local, size=32000 512-blocks) mfs:22785 on /dev type mfs (asynchronous, local, size=5200 512-blocks) mfs:29244 on /binmfs type mfs (asynchronous, local, size=54000 512-blocks) mfs:7970 on /usr/local type mfs (asynchronous, local, size=691200 512-blocks) mfs:21696 on /home type mfs (asynchronous, local, size=204800 512-blocks) Last edited by J65nko; 16th October 2012 at 08:28 PM.

This is the first time I heard about MarBSD. Initially I thought you made a typo and meant MirBSD
I have no idea why X keeps adding entries to /var/log/Xorg.0.log.. Maybe you could contact the MarBSD liveCD creator and report the issue to him. Alternatively you could try the LiveCD of of our forum member jggimi. Be aware that this CD is based in OpenBSD 5.0, while OpenBSD 5.2 is about to be released on November 1st.

The /var/log filesystem is probably filling up because some process is writing log entries over and over and over.
This can happen not only on OpenBSD but on any BSD or Linux or Unix like system. Look at the /var directory and try to figure out what is being written: cd /var ls -altr cd /var/log ls -altr The use something like the "tail" command to look at the end of the log files that are, for example to look at the last lines of the messages file: cd /var/log tail messages |
