Hi again,

Well, squid is logging into /usr/....../squid/var/ so it could not be
squid. Actualy, only softwawre that comes with FreeBSD logs into /var

Here is the df:
-------------
IBM:/#df -h
Filesystem                 Size   Used  Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a                126M    46M    70M    39%    /
/dev/ad0s1f                252M    34K   232M     0%    /tmp
/dev/ad0s1g                5.1G   2.8G   1.9G    59%    /usr
/dev/ad0s1e                252M    95M   137M    41%    /var
procfs                     4.0K   4.0K     0B   100%    /proc
---------------
Doese /usr, /var, /tmp have the same inode pool, or are they separate,
meaning: different inodes for /var, different for /usr?

So the question is: How can I find out which program doesnt clean/flush
the inodes, and is there a way to see how many inodes there are?
