Well it looks like you guys have hit the nail on the head. I had an
out of control http log the other day that filled up the root parition
and I rm'd and then touch'ed the file. This, in conjuction with
Brandon's comments on the zombie process, make a compelling case that
httpd is to blame.
I did 'killall -HUP httpd' and restarted httpd with the init.d script
and got my space back. No reboot.
uptime 365, here I come!
Thanks for all the help, geniuses.
