"device full" messages and lost file contents.
Hi,
I am running Debian Woody i386.
Yesterday I had a scary experience. I started getting these "device
full, can't save to device" messages and several applications crashed.
I could not send mail, I only got these messages.
I rebooted the machine, and when I came back up I noticed that several
config files for the programs that crashed was reduced to 0. Also, all
the WindowMaker config files was 0 and I had to completely redo my
desktop. After looking at this for a while it seemed like all files that
was being written to for the period of time when I got these messages
was reduced to 0.
What might have caused this? Every thing works fine now, and for the
record: My HD is *not* full! :)
TIA
