Can anybody point me to a good source of information on un*x file
systems. I am especially interested in what a inode is, what its
function is, and how it affects me. The reason being I had a problem
over the weekend with a Mandrake box (I have about had it with Mandrake
for a server) where it acted like I ran out of space on the root
parition. The odd thing is that it did not run out of space.. For some
reason my /var/log/mail and /var/log/news directories are absolutely
full of of very tiny files. So I never actually ran out of space, but
the partition ran out of inodes. Very odd, and very anonying. But I must
say, I am truely impressed with the fact that the server never crashed.
I would like to see a NT box fill the root drive and still be running.
Now to figure out what the hell happend this weekend. Ack.
