But has it taken the inodes? _That_ is the question.

If you're sure that deleting the queue helps, do the following:
1. Stop qmail
2. rm -rf /var/qmail/queue
3. cd /usr/src/qmail (or wherever your qmail sources are)
4. make setup check
5. Start qmail.

(Alternative: Delete all file in /var/qmail/queue _except_ the files in 
/var/qmail/queue/lock.)


But I certainly think that FIRST your should find out who ate all 
your inodes and why; I think that couldn't happen by chance - 
that's either a bug or a denial-of-service attack.
