Hi, well, I have a "question".

Here is leafnode on /var, and some times ago, I lost some mails
with the message "no inodes anymore", when fetching mails with fetchmail.
texpire, ok. But how could I have prevented this from happening, how do I
get more inodes on /var ?

Hope it is "newbie" enough to be asked here. The danger to ask questions
on newbies and get answers by newbies, well, maybe not in this case ;-)

Thanks,

H.
