He didn't read the whole message, saw disk full and said oh, his temp |
| 10 |
partition is overflowing. |

The correct answer here is that you have to do an fsck. The best solution |
| 13 |
is to just be at the console of the machine, where you can boot into |
| 14 |
single user mode and run the fsck. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
If that is not an option you'll need to make sure everyone is off the |
| 17 |
machine (Maintenance window?), stop all the services except the network |
| 18 |
services and sshd then remount the partition readd only and run the fsck. |

quick rundown of commands: |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
rc-update show |
| 23 |
/etc/init.d/service stop #for each non-repair essential service |
| 24 |
ps auwx #to verify that all the services are stopped that need to be |
| 25 |
mount -o remount,ro / |
| 26 |
fsck.ext3 /dev/hdxy |
| 27 |
mount -o remount,rw / |
| 28 |
/etc/init.d/services start #for each service you stopped |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
At the end of this I really prefer doing a reboot (And fsck may tell you a |
| 31 |
reboot is required). |

Might want to test the procedure a few times on a non-critical machine, |
| 34 |
but that should get you through the process. |
