I think it is John's doing actually.  Notice this:

r...@sage:/# lsof |grep palmi |grep tmp
...
sh        11476    palmieri    1u      REG                8,1
12283168820    3878970 /tmp/tmpR6f6ha (deleted)
sh        11476    palmieri    2u      REG                8,1
12283168820    3878970 /tmp/tmpR6f6ha (deleted)
python    11477    palmieri    1u      REG                8,1
12283170440    3878970 /tmp/tmpR6f6ha (deleted)
python    11477    palmieri    2u      REG                8,1
12283170440    3878970 /tmp/tmpR6f6ha (deleted)
...

Those are four VERY BIG FILES.

I killed 11476 and 11477 and now all our disk space is back.

Yeah!

William
