Shoo-Wee - Tough time when root partition is 100% full

Post by allingeneral »

The website has been terrible today and I apologize. I had a cron job that wasn;t doing its job and let a temp directory fill up with several gigabytes of data that should have been temporary in nature.

For those of you who may not know - a Linux server with a 100% full root partition is not a happy Linux server.

So, I think most of the damage has been contained - except for the corrupted database tables, which are being corrected as we speak.

Sorry for the problems today!

Bummer... I was wondering what happened. Glad we are back in business though. I was starting to get the shakes from withdrawal. LOL

glad see the site is back up, I was wondering, thought perhaps the thought police took you down.

More worried about your business than the forum. A server down is lost revenue. I appreciate the update.
