Something doesn't add up.  In your previous message, df showed 354M/372M
available on / but here it seems like only 15.9M is used.  Did you free
338.1M of logs?  If so, then what's the problem?

I've been told fips is the program to use for resizing partitions, but I
haven't used it yet.  Be warned; messing with partitions is a great way
to lose data.

HPH!
