for their help (and all I missed here). No, it wasn't an open file
descriptor. I ran out of free blocks (fsck -> 127688 files, 651034
used, 118724 free (118724 frags, 0 blocks, 15.4% fragmentatation ).
Excerpt from the winners:
Jeff: Fragmentation. fsck will report it. dump/newfs/restore should
Jeff: fix it.
Richard: Check the disk with fsck and you may find that you are out of
Richard: free blocks. You will need to backup the partition and then
Richard: newfs the disk then restore.
However, an ufsdump/newfs/restore didn't help that much, it showed up again
after some files. - SIGH. Guess I'm going to convince the user to use other
ways of storing his data ...
Thanks again - Markus
