Figures. I still think it'd be good to emphasize that this particular directory might be better of in a separate partition, or in a directory with a quota.

Btw, wouldn't it be possible that a PmWiki creates some many, and big, pages that the partition gets full? What would happen if I wrote a script that started creating pages at pmwiki.org? (Besides you being angry with me of course :-)

The operating system is often less graceful about things when a partition gets full.

It's the OS I'm worried about... Doesn't this basically mean that a lot of hosts with PmWiki can be brought down quite easily?
