Hey,

thanks a lot.

I think I found the culprit:

| timl@yarrow:~$ df -i /var/spool/cron/atjobs | Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on | /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?
