I am having problems with heavy hit /var partitions needed 'fsck' badly. One got so bad that after deleting nearly 2gig of files 'df' failed to recognize the newly acquired free space. After 'fsck' and many many repairs, it was fine again. Is this related to lengthly uptimes and very heavy hit /var partitions. (These machines are getting upwards of 1mill requests/day with some requests logging to as many as 10 different logs) Performance is not an issue, it runs smoothly, until problems such as these spring up. The 2 machines I had problems with today had 47 and 53 days of uptime. (I know this is not much considering I have other boxes with over a year of uptime, but these boxes run sloppy code and should be rebooted more often than should be) One other issue, anyone ever 'corrupt' a file system doing an 'fsck' while mounted? I know on Solaris this is okay, you just refer to a different device path for the 'fsck'. These are 6.2 boxes with the latest and greatest updates.
