It's possible that you're out of inodes. What does "df -i /knox" say? Every file has one inode - it stores permissions etc. You set up the number of inodes when you make the filesystem; the default is usually fine, but if you have an unusually large number of small files you can use up your inodes before you run out of data space. As I recall you can't adjust this once you've made the filesystem; you have to make a fresh one with more inodes than the default (see "man mke2fs"). -- Cameron Simpson <cs@xxxxxxxxxx> DoD#743 http://www.cskk.ezoshosting.com/cs/ What if there were no hypothetical situations? - Jeff Sauder -- Shrike-list mailing list Shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/shrike-list
