Not enough space

2007-12-25 9:59:00

The emergency is over....

I added some swap on the fly. The thing that confused me was

that top reported that I still had about 60M of swap left. I added

54M of swap... and now top is reporting that I have 193M free!

This could be because the programmers were in a meeting

mind you.

Should I not be using tmpfs? What pro's and cons are there in

running with this stuff.

Anyway... Thankts for the speedy results.

Original Question

I've got a bit of an emergency here... I've got a problem with

an Ultra 1 running 2.6 and Netscape 3.5.1 with the relevant

patches.. ANd a couple livewire applications. I just started

to get messages like "Not enough space" and "Killed" when

trying to run simple processes like pwd or df -k from a

telnet session.

This machine is a production machine! Help! What can I do

now to figure out what's what... The number of processes

running is the same as usual... nothing wierd, about 145 or

so...

Thanks in advance
