Dimitri,
1. possibly some process is holding a open file handle (lsof should be able to show this too) 2. some versions of the kernel had a bug where the filesystem accounting ; this will require a reboot to clear
HTH,

All,

A colleague at a very small company has CentOS 5.x
running on a R200.  The other day, he tried to
add a new user, but got an error.  His pptpd VPN
also stopped working.  The long-and-short of it
is that "/" (in its own partition) on his system
is 100% full.  I've been helping him look for a
solution to the problem:  we've looked at files
and file sizes for (a) culprit(s), checked
available inodes, and a few other things and, of
course, googled for a solution.  We've come up
empty.

At this point, we don't want to add more space to
the partition.  Can anyone suggest any other
things we can try?

Many thanks.

Dimitri
