Hi all,
If I rapidly rewrite a file, for example:
while true; do echo "foo" > /foo; done;
Or for example:
#!/usr/bin/perl
for (1 .. 100000) {
MyStuff::Util::writeFile('/root/foo', $blah);
}
The filesystem eventually says filesystem full.
Obviously those are corner cases because I am rapidly rewriting. But even if I
don't rapidly rewrite, if I just rewrite for example, once every few seconds,
based on changes to the environment, etc., the filesystem still fills up. If I
make the filesystems bigger, that helps, but I was wondering if there is
another way.
If I put a sync in cron, that helps a lot too. That seemed like a kludge,
wasn't sure if that's the right thing to do.
Is there a global setting, perhaps some sysctl, that I need to modify, to
prevent this from happening?
Thanks in advance.
