Tried. And booted several times. No luck

But /var is not full. It is _more_ than empty.


After the system has been running a couple of days (more files in /var/log, 
/var/db/locate.database, etc.) I now have an almost empty /var:

~#du -sk /var
15378   /var

~#df /var
Filesystem  1K-blocks   Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/da0s1d   5077038 -21470 4692346    -0%    /var



I guess I could be happy for this extra diskspace, but I am afraid that 
something is not quite right...
