Package: cruft Version: 0.9.6-0.15 Severity: normal Cruft filled up my root filesystem by suddenly plummenting 4GB of files in /var/spool on my small-ish root filesystem. #50731 already discusses the disk usage, and in a moment I'm going to make a seperate report about -d, so I won't go into that here.
However, cruft did just go on after detecting out-of-disk, and dumped a report on stdout, so that I didn't actually notice it failed and that my root FS was full until nagios complained: # cruft -d / --chroots /chroot uniq: write error sed: couldn't write 34 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 66 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 63 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 82 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 62 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 67 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 84 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 55 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 75 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't write 37 items to stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device sed: couldn't flush stdout: No space left on device /usr/sbin/cruft: line 207: echo: write error: No space left on device /usr/sbin/cruft: line 208: echo: write error: No space left on device cruft report: Wed Feb 21 13:39:10 CET 2007 [.... report ....] In my opinion, cruft should halt the first time either of those uniq or sed commands fail, and not continue like nothing happened. --Jeroen -- System Information: Debian Release: 4.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-3-xen-k7 Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages cruft depends on: ii file 4.17-5 Determines file type using "magic" ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-11 GNU C Library: Shared libraries cruft recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
