Hello everybody,

I ran into the same problem I had a while ago - nfsen sometimes (during the
weekend) runs out of disk space and is at a stand-still...

Here's how my system looked this morning:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1              15G  8.4G  5.4G  61% /
*/dev/sda2             241G  229G     0 100% /data*
none                  3.5G     0  3.5G   0% /dev/shm
*/dev/sda5              13G   13G     0 100% /var*

The /var partition was filled by the syslog error messages:
Apr 20 11:19:49 localhost /usr/local/bin/nfcapd[4490]: Process_v9: output
buffer size error. Abort v9 record processing
Apr 20 11:19:49 localhost /usr/local/bin/nfcapd[4487]: Failed to write
output buffer to disk: 'No space left on device'

I have a script that checks for partitions overflowing, but for some reason
it didn't do the trick this time...

After deleting some old flow data and clearing the /var partition, I rebuilt
the live profile and restarted nfsen...

[EMAIL PROTECTED] clearOldRRDs]# ./emergencyCleanup.pl
/data 100
/var 100
Deleting files older than 2 days
/data 48
/var 85
[EMAIL PROTECTED] clearOldRRDs]# df -h

My question is: if the maximum size of the profile is 200G, and the full
profile would occupy 210G, why did it fill my 230G partition?

Could you explain agian how the watermarking works? I would like to set it
to delete stuff as soon as possible and not be lazy...

Thank you,
Adrian
