[rhn-users] Mail server device full problem

[Pete Masse]

BlankThis morning when checking the mail server, I saw about 24 hours worth of these messages in the mail log.  

May 25 00:57:55 codeine postfix/cleanup[18978]: warning: 7E0CC46201D: write queue file: No space left on device
May 25 00:57:55 codeine postfix/cleanup[18978]: warning: 7E0CC46201D: skipping further client input

It has been occuring since yesterday.  Regular mail seemed to be flowing but mail sent from root to me would not go through (like from logwatch and such).
Checking disk space looks like this.

[root at codeine root]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3              36G  6.6G   28G  20% /
/dev/hda1              99M   53M   42M  57% /boot
/dev/hdb1             120G   66G   48G  59% /home
/dev/hdb2              28G  2.9G   24G  11% /opt
none                  313M     0  313M   0% /dev/shm
chromium.chemistry.montana.edu:/opt/codeine
                      111G   98G  7.5G  93% /mnt/backup

I tried flushing the mail queues, nothing changed.  Then I rebooted the server and the problem went away.  But that doesn't really help in the long run as I have no Idea what was causing the problem to begin with.  

Any Ideas?

Thanks  in advance.
