Hi fellow Debian users, I have a strange problem today. My system froze earlier, and I had to flip the power switch. When the system came back up, it paused for a very long time when it was trying to load mysqld.
So I booted into single user mode, removed the symlink for mysqld in rc2.d, and rebooted. It came up fine, and the wdm login prompt appeared. I attempted to login, and the screen flashed blank-black, then brought me back to a wdm login box. I went to Ctrl+Alt+F1, and I checked the XFree86.log and found no errors. I ran df -h and to my surprise I see that the root partition (the same which contains /tmp and /home) has no space left on it! 0% Available, 100% Use, and that is impossible! When I delete some large files (e.g. multimedia), the 0% available doesn't increase to, say, 1%, even after some serious house cleaning. I even made sure the root partition was mounted rw during the next boot, thinking that was the problem. When I boot with Knoppix, and run dh -h /mnt/hda3 (my usual root partition), after mounting, it says 71% in use. >From Knoppix, I ran e2fsck -f /dev/hda3 (and also /dev/hda1) and after a long while, it reported no errors. My user's .xsession-errors also reports no errors. I have 3 partitions, /dev/hdb3 is root, /dev/hda2 is swap, and /dev/hda1 is /boot. The wdm allows the user root to login to a bare openbox desktop, but my usual user isn't allowed in. I can create a file /tmp/foo and cat noise from /dev/audio into it for a few minutes, and it accepts the data just fine (proof the disk isn't 100% full). I'm running `testing'. What might be going on here? Thank you! Willie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
