Problem solved: I filled the partition with /tmp on it, so nothing

Interesting. I hadn't considered that a full /tmp partition would do
it. I don't have it on a separate partition on any of the systems I
run, so this never came up. I'll be tucking that bit of info away
for
future use.
/tmp can fill up even if it's on the root partition...of course,
if that happens, then your root partition is full, too.
Personally, I don't like ANY unnecessary file I/O on my root
partition, so /tmp always gets its own partition
I/O is still I/O that has to be handled by the _disk_ not the
_partition_, so it matters not if /tmp is on it's own partition unless
it is also on a different disk.
Really?
So if the /tmp directory is corrupted, and it is on its
own partition (and therefore, a separate filesystem),
this corrupts the root filesystem how, exactly?
You weren't talking about corruption but only disk I/O.
A filesystem can't get corrupted if there's no write
activity on it.
DUH!
so then why did you imply otherwise?
