Today I ran into a "file system full" error on FreeBSD myself. I ran "df -k" and noticed that a partition was 106 percent full. I clean out some some files and brought it down to under 100%, and things seemed to work fine again. Where was that extra 6% hanging out, though? Was data being lost, or was it being safely stored and restored from elsewhere in the system?

Part of the filesystem is reserved for root when the filesystem is full, i think it's around 10%.. i get this alot on my / filesystem now :)

Have you checked the <A HREF="http://www.freebsd.org/">FAQ</A>? If you find it, please post it here.

Default newfs settings reserve 10% for root-only space to recover
in case filesystem starts filling up.
You can live safely with ~99,99% of filesystem being really used
by user data only if it is static filesystem - archives without updates. Random I/O against such filesystem will be abnormaly slow.
Keep at least 20% free on heavily accessed drives.
Keeping / and/or /var starving at 100% full means losing performance.

I'm starting to have this problem both on my / and /var filesystems. But I do have a lot of space on my /usr filesystem
as I'm a newbie does any body ahve a fix for this or a command to show what files are under what filesystem so I can change them to the /usr with a symbolic link or what files are safe to rm from the filesystems
thanks for the help in advance

Read the article. Read it slowly. Understand what is being said. I can't add much more than what is said there. Does your problem fit into what is demonstrated there?
Do you really need more space on /var or are you not rotating logfiles?
As for /, what is taking up the space there?
