When it starts to generate error messages, try running fstat(1) on
/tmp to identify the offending processes.

Re: Problem with my server

Check for symlinks into tmp such as /var/tmp -> /tmp

Often logfiles will fill /tmp

Hi,

I'm running freeradius on FreeBSD 5.3 I noticed a problem in my radius 
logs a little while ago. In my messages log I saw the following:


Dec 28 03:11:42 radius kernel: pid 53251 (cp), uid 0 inumber 8 on /tmp: 
filesystem full
Dec 28 03:11:55 radius kernel: pid 52711 (perl), uid 0 inumber 7 on /tmp: 
filesystem full


I rebooted the system and it seems to be OK now. I am comcerned though 
because I don't really know what might cause /tmp to fill up and what I 
might do to prevent that. I don't know what df showed before the reboot, 
but the /tmp file system is fine now:


Filesystem  1K-blocksUsedAvail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a253678  124276   10910853%/
devfs   1   10   100%/dev
/dev/ad0s1e253678  22   233362 0%/tmp
/dev/ad0s1f  36493196 2114040 31459702 6%/usr
/dev/ad0s1d396526   47528   31727613%/var
devfs   1   10   100%/var/named/dev

I realise this might be a pretty vague question, but what might cause /tmp 
to get full? This server is used for radius authentication, email for a 
few (~ 50) users and it runs bind as a slave DNS server.


Thanks for any input.

Problem with my server
