Hi all,
I have a problem where I can not create any files in my / partition
although df doesn't show any problem
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 1.0G 732M 249M 75% /
/dev/hda6 860M 169M 647M 21% /home
I've located the culprit, /var/log/mail on /dev/hda1
ie: ls -l /var/log/mail does not respond
if I try 'rm *.1' it returns
bash: /bin/rm: Argument list too long
output from debugfs of /var/log/mail
-- snip
52684 (52) mail.info.1.gz.2.gz.1.gz.2.gz.4.gz.2.gz.1.1
65767 (52) mail.info.1.gz.2.gz.1.gz.4.gz.5.gz.2.gz.1
65673 (52) mail.info.1.gz.2.gz.1.gz.2.gz.5.gz.3.gz.1.1
65709 (68) mail.info.1.gz.2.gz.1
31056 (52) mail.info.1.gz.2.gz.2.gz.2.gz.2.gz.4.gz.1.1
......

Looks like the logrotate cron is stuffed and I'll fix that ;-)
the list is huge and I can delete files individually in debugfs
I'm unable to use wild cards *.1, rmdir is not yet implemented in
debugfs:
any suggestion to remove the entire content of that directory?
Thanks
JYP
