Just a situation I find myself in. I recently started trying to improve the speed of performance of my mediawiki site. To do so I installed varnish, and set up memcached to run on that server. debian Linux 8 with php7 from backports. Now I got all of the update done and checked to see that the server was running OK: the last step was to rebuild the caching files using the command php rebuildFileCache.php. I've used this before with no complications however this time it filled up my entire diskdrive 923GB and I'm not sure what to do the clean up my mess. The entire system will boot up but the drive is so bloated that I cant even log in in the xterminal desktop. I do have full access as root on the regular terminal. I would really appreciate any tips to handle this.

If you're using rebuildFileCache.php, you probably have $wgFileCacheDirectory set to specify the location of the cache files. Log in as root and clean out that directory, and that should clear up the immediate problem so you can get back in. Unfortunately, I don't use varnish so I have no idea what you need to do next. It seems odd that the file cache would fill up like that. Just how many articles are in your wiki?
