While on vacation, one of our servers more or less died when /var filled up. This was a result of the error.log file for apache2 filling up with the following messages.
[Sun Aug 22 06:25:32 2004] [notice] child pid 3881 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Sun Aug 22 06:25:32 2004] [notice] child pid 3880 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
[Sun Aug 22 06:25:33 2004] [notice] child pid 3894 exit signal Segmentation fault (11)
I fixed it over the phone, but when I returned I found that two other
computers had the same huge log files. Fortunately they had larger /var
partitions, so it didn't cause any real problems. All of the computers in
question are runnin Debian/Sarge. Can anyone suggest a reason for this?
