>Description:
I'm not sure if this is a port specific problem. I've never seen anything
like this before and am unsure why it's happening.
I couldn't find anything online describing this problem. First:
Date: Sun, 8 Feb 2004 04:58:04 +0000 (UTC)
From: Cron Daemon <root@nixsys.bz>
To: "root@nixsys.bz" <root@nixsys.bz>
Subject: Cron <root@nixsys> /bin/sh /etc/daily 2>&1 | tee
/var/log/daily.out | sendmail -t
postdrop: warning: uid=0: File too large
sendmail: fatal: root(0): Message file too big
Well, that's interesting, so, in /var/log/daily.out:
Purging accounting records:
sa: add key 0 to user accounting stats: No space left on device
There's _many_ of those lines.
diro@nixsys% du -k /var/log/daily.out
88776 /var/log/daily.out
In my /var/log/conslog:
Feb 8 03:22:55 nixsys /netbsd: uid 0 comm sa on /tmp: file system full
Feb 8 03:23:26 nixsys last message repeated 34586 times
Feb 8 03:25:27 nixsys last message repeated 151277 times
Feb 8 03:35:28 nixsys last message repeated 740074 times
Feb 8 03:42:02 nixsys last message repeated 491001 times
Feb 8 04:58:03 nixsys postfix/sendmail[18489]: fatal: root(0): Message file too big
So:
diro@nixsys% df
Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/sd0a 253806 55928 185186 23% /
/dev/sd3a 7860020 1033994 6433024 13% /var

/dev/sd2a 6845056 4303496 2199306 66% /usr/src/sys
/dev/sd2d 510322 286 484518 0% /tmp

/dev/sd1d 1967866 94340 1775132 5% /www
Which is strange, because /tmp is 0%
Since I couldn't find anything online about this, I'm thinking it could possibly
be a new bug that no one's seen before.
