Hello,
hello, First of all, beginning a post insulting the people you ask help from is not a good idea...
since I updated my 10.3 to the latest kernel there are nothing but problems.
but is this related at all with the update?
I just had similar problem with a test 11 install, only to discover the hard drive was filled by an enormous error messages file... (9Gb!)
When Linux get short of space, it behave very erraticly. I had even problems removing the file: I could reove, but had to reboot to have the space really freed.
You don't need to reboot to free the space, you just have to close all open file handles on the deleted file. It's standard unix behavior that you can delete a file and it disappears from directory listings, but it's not really deleted if any process has the file open. When there are no open file handles left, the file is deleted. By rebooting, you killed any processes that had that file open, and so the space was freed. That's sort of like killing a fly with a nuclear bomb, since you could have done the same thing with an fuser command rather than rebooting.
