Random "No space on device messages"
 
Ocassionally i get a "No space on device" message on all open terminals
and in logs.
How do i make it go away.

Does it inform you of what device. What do you get when you type in
Code:
stat -f /
Also can you print how your filesystem is setup?

Hmmmm..... Well I am at a loss for words here. Everything looks fine. The only thing I can think of is some large temp file gets written to /usr and brings the avaliable space to 0. Does this happen at random intervals by chance? Maybe like a cron command that gets fired off?

Sorry meant to say command in crontab. Which is like schedule tasks for linux and unix.

smeezekitty 02-15-2010 01:12 AM
Code:
crontab -l
0 0 * * 1 sysx.sh

can you what sysx.h is doing? When you this message pop up try doing a fdisk -l to see if you can see any drive with 0 available space.

smeezekitty 02-15-2010 05:19 PM
Code:
which sysx.sh
/usr/bin/sysx.sh
cat /usr/bin/sysx.sh
#/bin/bash
dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/spec bs=1M count=32
exec /usr/bin/backup
rm /usr/spec
