I would start by taking the machine down, booting it into single-user, and running fsck -y. background fsck does not catch all errors. Also, how soon do you check the box to see how much space/free inodes it has after receiving a "filesystem full" error? Are we talking "I checked it 4-5 hours later", or "I checked it 30 seconds after"? -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
