[SOLVED] Cannot generate sessions on Johnny.

[Xoviat]

I've received the following messages on my site (scrabblefreak.heliohost.org on Johnny) when creating a session:

 

Warning: Unknown: write failed: No space left on device (28) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

 

Monitor shows Johnny's /tmp to be full.

 

First time I noticed this was roughly 16 hours ago. /tmp free space hasn't managed to stablilize in that time.

I can't access CPanel (Have no idea about server configuration, so I don't know if this is related to other problems reported/maintenance)

 

Any ideas?

Can get into CPanel now.

Space on /tmp is up to 5Mb of 1Gb and sessions are being generated.

After a little investigating I found that the user yaya1234 was single handedly using 64% of the /tmp partition. That account has been suspended for using too much system resources, and all of their /tmp files were deleted.

 

@admins, these are the commands I ran in case you need to do something similar or fix anything that I inadvertently broke in the process:

su
<johnny root password>
find /tmp -user yaya1234 -exec rm -f {} \;

 

@xoviat, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

@Krydos - Just to let you know that here is a shortcut that allows you to login as root without the root password:

 

sudo su -
<enter your heliohost password>

Thanks, but I was mainly just trying to show that the command wouldn't run as an admin account, nor would it run with a regular sudo.
