Re: [SLUG] file system full - debugfs
Any money that you are running Mandrake 7.1? I had the same problem. It
also screws your /var/log/news directory.
A df -i will show that you are out of inodes.
Do
find /var/log/mail -exec rm -f {} \;
It will take time but it will kill them off eventually.

I believe you can do either of the following; Upgrade to a newer debugfs which has the rmdir function implemented remove the directory. or Using debugfs, cd into /var/log/mail and remove each file, I believe this will work even though the normal rm command fails and if it doesn't like the name I think you can use the inode to delete the file. Make sure you run fsck on the drives after this. Good luck ---Gareth Walters -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://slug.org.au/lists/listinfo/slug
