But all services are freezed with quota exeeded errors.
when I log :
zsh: locking failed for /home/bruno/.histfile: disk quota exceeded: reading anyway
Or in postfix logs :
Mar 24 04:44:52 vps622 postfix/cleanup[2727]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file incoming/181079.2727: Disk quota exceeded
..etc..
Also MySQL also cannot be started.
Once rebooted the server is fine only few minutes before facing quota exceeded.
I cannot find any quota setup.
And indeed there is no quota packages installed neither.
dpkg -l | grep quota
---> nothing.
How to check this quota problem ?
Thanks for any help or clue.
After few iterations I found the directory : /usr/local/pnp4nagios/var/spool which contains more than 300.000 files.
Need to work on this later, but to resolve the current issue I stopped nagios and delete its spool directory.
Then everything is up & running OK.
Nice! That is what I thought. It is better to create partitions with larger number of inodes if you expect them to get full. Had similar issue with database server in past and had to go with higher inode number at the time of partition creation.
