I attempted to add a user today to our WWW3 machine. Do to the /
partition being full by accident, we got the following error:

Apr 30 15:14:19 www3 /kernel: pid 14922 (pwd_mkdb), uid 0 on /: file
system full

=46rom this point on, "ps" dosen't work. We just get:=20

ps: bad namelist

Also:=20

uptime: /dev//y mounted

 3:57PM  up 8 mins, 2 users, load averages: 0.13, 0.11, 0.05

Users can still login, and things like Apache still work. We just
*can't* find out where this problem is happening. I've tried recompiling
the kernel, recompiling ps with it, and it just errors the same.

Can anyone please tell me what's going on?

Thanks;
