Subject: [xymon] linux disk space issue

I know this is not related to hobbit but I had a problem where my web pages stopped updating and histlogs stopped writing.

I checked my server disk space with df -h and it showed 3.6gb free on my root filesystem where hobbit lives.

I could not run a man page because it couldn't create a temp file.

I discovered after a little troubleshooting that I was actually out of space even though I supposedly had a few gig free.

I was able to clean up space and get my system running fine, but I'm baffled at why this happened.  I can't find anything on the web about it.

Anyone have any idea why this might have happened?

Thanks,
Dan
