annie Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 I'm monitoring a webserver right now that's seriously low on disk space in system areas. Could be because of not rotating logs. But anyway, how low can you go before a Linux server stalls or crashes? It's down to 298k right now! Still got my site hosted there, though not for more than a few more hours, thankfully! Quote
annie Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 Down to zero and still ticking. Expect my counters to break any second now, if they're located on that partition. Quote
TCH-Bruce Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 (edited) I'm just a mod and not staff but all user accounts are on the /home partition. Sorry, thought you were asking about one of the TCH servers. Edited May 9, 2004 by TCH-Bruce Quote
Deverill Posted May 9, 2004 Posted May 9, 2004 It depends on what the partition is used for. If it is log files then they may just stop filling or rotate out the old stuff. If it is a system partition the thing may crash. If it is a website partition nothing can be written to the drive so no updates and dynamics should go flakey. I'm glad you're moving out of there and to TCH - it doesn't sound like they have a very safe place to be. Quote
annie Posted May 9, 2004 Author Posted May 9, 2004 Understatement of the year! Very nice to have the run of the machine for learning purposes (loove linux shell access). Very few places off limits. But I guess it's time to upgrade... It's still at zero, but I think there's some sort of spillover to hda3. Log systems are on hda4 which still has plenty of space. Home area on hda3 which as about 100 megabytes free space. Total space on the server seems to be 20 gigabytes. Quote
