Oh, yeah, and totally outside of Slimserver.. I have a laptop. It's now 7 years old and sort of tempermental, but it works for what I need it for (being able to login to servers at work even if I am out of town... some day I will be able to have a real vacation where I can toss the cellphone into the river...)
It used to crash. Hard. Total death. I had to press the secret-recessed-reset button, a power cycle would not bring it back. Why? Because it filled up. It was spamming various logs with: Code: -------------------- evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 4, Code: 4, Value: 208 evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 1, Code: 108, Value: 0 evbug.c: Event. Dev: isa0060/serio0/input0, Type: 0, Code: 0, Value: 0 -------------------- No idea what it is complaining about, nor do I really care. (It works for what I need... the mousepad is ill, though, and it is probably complaining about that...) But when that filled up the logs, the system would die... and since that has a cheap-and-dirty "two partitions, one for the system, one for /home" setup, filling up /var meant /tmp was full. When I changed it to stop logging that (they still show up in dmesg), it behaved much better and hasnt crashed in months. So, yes, filling up /tmp will kill things. -- snarlydwarf ------------------------------------------------------------------------ snarlydwarf's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=1179 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34229 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/unix
