var filesystem 100% can't login, need help
I have a Linux server with a var filesystem at 100% usage. I cannot get logged in to this machine to clear out files. Does anybody have any ideas short of a reboot to get logged into this system?

You should still be able to login even if the partition is full.

something else should be wrong, u could try running commands (delete old logs or useless files) via ssh without logging in
Code:
ssh hostname 'rm -rf /var/log/messages.{2,3,4,5}' |
I have a feeling some sort of blocking write may be preventing you from logging in. What I'd advice is to boot into rescue mode, mount the disk, and clear up space on /var and whatever else may be full.

You can login from any other machine with ssh enabled(passwordless) user and clear the logs. |
The last post was over 10 years ago - the original poster obviously no longer has an issue. Please don't revive long-dead threads for no useful purpose.
