Any ideas? The classic way to run out of disk space accidentally is to have your backups go to an NFS-mounted partition. If, for some reason, the NFS partition gets dismounted, you'll still write your backups to (say) /mnt/backups, but now it's the root partition instead. If that matches your situation, using FTP you could remove one file you don't need from the backup partition and then see if you can log in again. -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
