No, nothing.

/dev/mapper/sda2_crypt  15G  4,8G  9,2G  35% /

Should be plenty of space.

Will do. Is it save to run 'sudo sh -c 'cd / && run-parts --report
/etc/cron.daily' " manually to try and trigger it or is that
detrimental in some way?

At the moment I'm rather suspecting stunnel4 - it has a file in
/etc/logrotate.d, it's not on my other boxes, which are fine, and
today's zombie went away after I had to issue /etc/init.d/stunnel4
restart manually for another reason.

... ...

Actually this might be related to
#419992 (lighttpd causing logrotate to go <defunct>) and
#460019 (stunnel4 outputs to stderr)

I'll try to verify if that's indeed the cause.


Thanks,

C.
