Hi,
I had a problem that generated A LOT of messages in syslog and it grew untill
the entire /var partition had 0 bytes free.
The /var/log/syslog file was over 4GB large. I deleted it using a simple rm
/var/log/syslog command and the file is indeed no longer there.
The du /var/log -s command shows a decrease of over 4GB so that seems to
confirm it but....
There are still 0 bytes free on the /var partition as the df command shows.
root@linutr:~# df

/dev/mapper/vgroup1-lvvar

root@linutr:~#
Also there is still no nerw syslog file, probably because the filesystem shows
0 bytes free.
/var is an ext3 partition
Should I just unmount /var, and run fsck.ext3 /var or is there something else I
should do first?
Is there maybe some background process that is still running through all inodes
freeing up the 4+GB diskspace?
