--- Begin Message ---Package: isc-dhcp-server Version: 4.2.2.dfsg.1-5+deb70u6 Severity: important I have /var/lib/dhcp on a tmpfs on an embedded device, and I set aside 16M for the filesystem (embedded system). Every now and then, some weird client comes online and within a day, the filesystem fills up and the DHCP server stops working properly: Nov 10 14:50:15 wall dhcpd: commit_leases: unable to commit: No space left on device Nov 10 14:50:15 wall dhcpd: DHCPREQUEST for 192.168.14.143 from 00:04:23:72:4e:6c (wing) via lan: database update failed When I look at the leases file, it is filled with entries like this: lease 192.168.14.143 { starts 1 2014/11/10 11:38:00; ends 4 2014/11/13 11:38:00; cltt 1 2014/11/10 11:38:00; binding state active; next binding state free; rewind binding state free; hardware ethernet 00:04:23:72:4e:6c; client-hostname "wing"; } lease 192.168.14.143 { starts 1 2014/11/10 11:38:03; ends 4 2014/11/13 11:38:03; cltt 1 2014/11/10 11:38:03; binding state active; next binding state free; rewind binding state free; hardware ethernet 00:04:23:72:4e:6c; client-hostname "wing"; } Every 3–5 seconds, a new entry is added, with identical content, until the 16M are full. Arguably, the client should be taken offline (it's a new Ubuntu system…), but in any case, this should not take down the DHCP server. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.16-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_NZ, LC_CTYPE=en_NZ.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages isc-dhcp-server depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.53 ii debianutils 4.4 ii isc-dhcp-common 4.3.1-4 ii libc6 2.19-11 ii lsb-base 4.1+Debian13 isc-dhcp-server recommends no packages.
