I can FTP and telnet in to my site as "admin" or a user, but all the files in /var are owned by root so cannot be deleted, with the exception of several mysql files owned by mysql, which I also cannot move or delete :( If I could extract the info in the database I could delete that remotely, then restore it after I get root access back again, but as it is now marked corrupt I can't seem to do anything with it. Is there any way of fixing a database with zero room on the partition it is in?
