no space left?

[Dan Trainor - hostinthebox.net]

Chill out, you're probably not out of space.

What more than likely is happening is that you're out of inodes or file 
allocation units.  'df -i' will show allocation totals and usage.

This happens a lot if you have many mant small files, such as in the 
case where you have a mail server with very many mails in queue.  Give 
that a go, and investigate from there.

Thanks
