alright, sicne folks are going to talk admin/system maintainance issues
rather then stick to the chartered topic of firewalls and security;
There are other issues that might cominto play here rather then merely a
full disk, it's dependant upon how the file system was created and the
disk originally partioned, the good ole fdisk'in of the drive, and whther
or not a volume manager was used in the creation of the file systems.
some file systems can indeed be 'grown' to larger sizes, but most the time
they can not. Of course, one can always just add a new drive, mount it in
the regular filesystem and play again with new space 'added' in, of course
there are limitations on this, depending again...those news groups I
mentioned are a wealth of information gathering for readers, and posters
gain extra insight from some savvy unix guru types.
Thanks,

"Cutting the space budget really restores my faith in humanity. It
eliminates dreams, goals, and ideals and lets us get straight to the
business of hate, debauchery, and self-annihilation." -- Johnny Hart

OK, so you're a Ph.D. Just don't touch anything.
