Hey,
thanks a lot.

I think I found the culprit:

| /dev/mapper/yarrow0-var
| 915712 915712 0 100% /var
| timl@yarrow:~$
With my privileges, I can't find out what's
causing this.
What I would look at first if I could would be
/var/log/iptraf and /var/spool/postfix/*.
What filled it up was /var/log/sudo-io. It creates 5 files for every time sudo
is used.
I once had a loop running including a sudo command - this might have caused the
problem since nightshade is far away from this usage of inodes.
Tried to log into syslog which works but the directory itself stays there and
is used so I dont currently have any idea how to turn this off.
After fixing this, we need Nagios alerts for /var as
well.
Done :).
P. S.: Toolserver Office Hour + 10 days = today.
What do you mean with this?
