Maybe you should rethink your policy on filesystem space management. >From what you stated the FS in question actually was full. You apparently were unaware of it until a problem (misbehaving nfsd process) brought it to your attention. You should be monitoring your FS usage. Something as simple as logwatch daily summaries can save your bacon here. As a general rule, when an FS begins steadily growing past the 80% mark heading toward 90%, you need to take action, either adding more disk to the underlying LVM device and growing the FS, mounting a new device/FS into a new directory in the tree and manually moving files, or making use of some HSM software. Full filesystems have been a source of problems basically forever. It's best to avoid such situations instead of tickling the dragon. -- Stan _______________________________________________ xfs mailing list xfs@xxxxxxxxxxx http://oss.sgi.com/mailman/listinfo/xfs
