For the time being make sure that you are really out of space and not just
running into problems with users accessing reserved space.
If you have space space that is reserved you can provide some of it for your
users right now by
# telinit 1
# mount -o remount,ro /
# tune2fs -m1 /dev/hda1 (replace /dev/hda1 with where ever your root
partition is mounted.)
# mount -o remount,rw -n /
# telinit 3 (or whatever your default runlevel is)
