The system is a p2-350, 2 8GIG Ultra2 SCSI drives, 128 RAM (300 swap), and an fxp nic. It runs low load apache, named, sendmail (medium to high load), delegated, squid, and radiusd. Would a setting of 128 in this case be insufficient? Also some suggested doing a 'fstat -f /var' command and searching for large open files. This is the largest open file I have found. root radiusd 297 1 /var 7962 -rw-r----- 288927657 w root radiusd 294 text /var 7964 -rwx------ 28903 r root radiusd 294 1 /var 7962 -rw-r----- 288927657 w Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity iused ifree %iused Mounted on /dev/da1s1g 3175193 1727393 1193785 59% 15667 777931 2% /var Could this cause a problem? For some reason the log does not provide information on what file or filesystem is being effected.
