I question your diagnosis.
I just deliberately filled my /tmp partition. System is still running
fine (which actually is a pleasant surprise, as this machine has been
horribly unstable the last few days. Maybe I should have filled the
/tmp partition long ago! :).
If you can crash your system by filling the /tmp partition, I think
that would be better described as a bug that needs fixing rather than
trying to work around it.
How about defining what you mean by "crash", what message you are
getting, etc.
Thanks Nick, I agree my diagnosis is very questionable. I just tried
filling /tmp and the system and it's running fine. And I've seen other
partitions fill up with no problems before.
I've put in place scripts to log as much info as possible and see what
happens. If it hasn't recurred by tonight I'll attempt to reproduce the
same conditions.
Apologies, should have posted this info before. I see my session go link
dead, the machine responds to pings for 30s or so but nothing else and
then goes completely dead and reboots. /var/log/messages contains the
following, other logs either contain the same info or nothing at all.
Is there any way to direct cores to be saved somewhere else?
Thanks all
