Yes, I think you are right ! Here is a cut from the conf file :- # Buffering program - to help streaming $buffer = 'buffer'; # one of false/buffer/mbuffer $buffer_megs = '10'; # buffer memory size (in megabytes) $buffer_fill_pct = '75'; # start writing when buffer this percent full > Do you even know for sure that your backup was running at the > time that the filesystem full messages were generated? Unfortunatly not - the times are different so this could two unrelated issues. > Maybe. At some point you filled /data up. You don't have enough > information here to indicate why.
