I screwed up a long tar command and wound up writing a tarball into my
root directory instead of one on a much larger partition, and it filled up
that partition, producing a disk full error. I deleted the offending file
and rebooted and the system appears to be working fine, no message log
errors or anything.
My question is this: Can I do damage to the file system by filling up the
disk accidentally that way? Obviously if I had really hosed the partition
I would know it, but if I rebooted and everything works well, does that
mean everything is OK? How can I tell for sure that I have not created a
problem that will appear over time?
Any help appreciated.
Gary
