Hi

I have some messages appearing in my dmesg output and in the security log
that concerns me:

 > liffey.cooperationireland.org kernel log messages:
 > > ile: table is full
 > > file: table is full
 > > file: table is full
 > > file: table is full

Any clues as to what might cause this ? Does it mean I've run out of inodes or
of file descriptors ? How do I pin down the offending application.

The server in question has only two roles - it acts as our mail server and
also as a Squid web proxy. The errors mostly seem to have occurred late at
night so it was most likely mail related rather than web-proxy related.

Thanks

	Mike
