Title: help - multilog warning - server dead
Post by: Lisa_Sobelski on September 20, 2002, 03:49:18 AM

Hello,

I have a huge problem. I am running SME V 5.1.2 Server/Gateway. Suddenly I started getting the following message.

multilog: warning: unable to write to /var/log/qmail/current pausing: out of disk space

It's scrolling over and over. I cannot connect to the web mgmnt, interface, internet.
But I CAN connect using SSH (putty).

I hope someone can help...I'm lost.

Thank you,
Lisa

I'd say it sounds like your drive's full.

More to the point, has she tried to delete some files?

Yes, I have tried ctrl-alt-del reboot. I deleted almost all log files. I'm pretty sure the drive isn't full...it just happened all of a sudden.

I will try deleting more.

Thanks for your suggestions.

"df" or use "df -h" for human readable format

man df:
DF(1)                                    FSF                                    DF(1)



NAME
       df - report filesystem disk space usage

SYNOPSIS
       df [OPTION]... [FILE]...

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page documents the GNU version of df.  df displays the amount of
       disk space available on the filesystem containing each file name argument.  If
       no  file  name is given, the space available on all currently mounted filesys­
       tems is shown.  Disk space is shown in 1K blocks by default, unless the  envi­
       ronment  variable  POSIXLY_CORRECT  is  set, in which case 512-byte blocks are
       used.

       If an argument is the absolute file name of a disk device  node  containing  a
       mounted  filesystem,  df  shows  the space available on that filesystem rather
       than on the filesystem containing the device node (which is  always  the  root
       filesystem).   This version of df cannot show the space available on unmounted
       filesystems, because on most kinds of systems  doing  so  requires  very  non­
       portable intimate knowledge of filesystem structures.

You were correct...I am out of disk space. I feel pretty silly just now.

I have been deleting everything I can but still have the error.

Thanks!
