Xoviat Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 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? Xoviat.

Xoviat Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 Can get into CPanel now. Space on /tmp is up to 5Mb of 1Gb and sessions are being generated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 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.

jje Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 @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> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krydos Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
