Hey,

I'm running 7.0-RELEASE, x86, SMP.

Can't remember exactly since when, or how, but atm. i see
this:

Filesystem             Size    Used   Avail Capacity 
Mounted on
/dev/ad6s3a            496M    454M    1.8M   100%    /

I suspect it's since i upgraded from 7.0-rcX couple times.

Any idea where i should start looking for files that are not
needed?

Thanks.

Ghirai.

	Start with /tmp.
	Also:

	du -x / | sort -nr | head -n 25

Well, I can tell you how to figure out which directories are
consuming  
space:

   du -xd1 /

Add -h to the flags if you prefer "human-readable"
output.  Give us  
that output and we can probably advise you further, if it
doesn't help  
clarify things enough for you to figure out what to do...

Here's the output (removed a couple other < 100KiB ):

986K    /bin
512B    /dev
366K    /etc/rc.d
270K    /lib/geom
250K    /etc/mail
170K    /libexec
138K    /etc/ssh
137M    /
121M    /boot
118K    /etc/periodic
116K    /etc/defaults
112M    /boot/kernel

/tmp is ~2MiB.

Atm. i have no clue how df reports 454M used...

Thanks.

Your kernel tree is huge-- on a 6.x system, that's normally
around  
25MB.  If you have a /boot/kernel.old, you can delete that,
but you  
should double-check whether you've specified non-default
compiler  
flags or something which might cause this.  Also, if you've
deleted  
things like old logfiles without restarting the daemons or
syslogd,  
you might want to reboot and then recheck the disk usage...

Are there supposed to be .ko.symbols near the .ko files in
/boot/kernel?
Those would account for ~80MiB.

Also i have a total of 1041 files in /boot/kernel.

They're used for debugging, but can be deleted if you aren't
doing  
kernel hacking or trying to generate a backtrace from a
panic.  I have  
~480 files under /boot/kernel on a 6.3 system....

That's cause you did du -xh | sort, so you're missing the
90M entries.
Then again, it reports 137M for /.

So, very likely there's a file in /tmp that's unlinked but
still opened by a 
program.
fstat -f / or fstat -u myuid should give you a clue.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the
modules
    and never get to the software part.

Yeah, but that went up with 7. Majorly.
here's one from a 7.x kernel, generic, but with ULE instead
of 4BSD:

# du -sh /boot/kernel
113M    /boot/kernel

Also:
ssh seven.stable "ls /boot/kernel" |while read
FILE; do if test 
! -f /boot/kernel/$; then echo $FILE; fi ; done|wc
-l
577

try doing a df -k to see what file systems are really
there and what they have in them.    
Then go in to root (/) and do  ls -laF
That may provide some clues.
