 |
|
| Ok, when I accidentally have a full disk and re-boot my gentoo system it appears to be un-bootable. I have mysql in the default runlevel and it can not start with a full disk. My next complaint is that X can not start with a full disk either, it fails with "Keyboard initialization failed", not the greatest error message. Can I have an init script that stops things early in the boot process that will tell me the disk is full ? |

| I guess that you just need some space on /var and/or /var/log. It's good to have /var on a seperate filesystem. |
