Nothing is shown if I shut down the web server. But I saw something
weird when I run # fstat | grep "/tmp", was something like this:
<someuser> mail.local 1739 15 /tmp 4 -rw-------
73917491734 rw
Looks like something, maybe your mail program has a large file open -
maybe trying to receive a huge file. Killing the process could get
that file closed and either it would be gone or would finally show
how much space it is holding.
Yep. Trying to stuff a 73GB file into a 1GB filesystem isn't going to work
very well. At this point I think your only option is to restart the
mailserver. Hopefully that will release the file from memory. Then you
can delete whatever pieces of it are left in /tmp.
I'd also look at your maillog to see what the filename and type of that
message was (huge zip attachment?) and suggest to your user that he get the
file some other way.
