CentOS 5.0 Question
-
CentOS 5.0 is basically a recompile of Red Hat Enterprise 5 with all the copyrighted stuff removed. I have a customer with a basic little CentOS 5.0 server, which is basically their very old desktop system (Pentium 4 1.7GHz 40GB HDD). We have upgraded the RAM to 1GB, used the 40GB HDD to install CentOS and added a 400GB HDD for them to store data. The 400GB drive has been shared via SAMBA for them to connect too and backup their data to it. Connected to the server is an external USB 2.0 Western Digital 500GB HDD which has the data from the 400GB HDD synchronised to using rsync in a shell script via cron. All has been working well for the past 7 months or so. This week they find they cannot connect to the network drive from Windows XP. I go on site and discover that the 40GB HDD is absoluteely full according to df -h. When I go into every subdirectory 1 level below the / directory and run df -hc I can only account for about 5GB tops. I run fsck /dev/hda2 and after warning me about the filesystem being mounted doesn't to much and claims all is good. I then run shutdown -r -F now and it checks the filesystem at boot up but once again it shows the HDD is full. I can't even look at man pages cause there is no free space to format the pages on. Does anyone have any idea what could be making Linux think it has a full filesystem when it doesn't? Or could it be that the filesystem is full but I can't see the files in question?

Turns out that the server had been booted with the external USB HDD turned off. This meant that it wasn't mapped at boot time to /data on /dev/hda2. Then when cron ran the backup script, rsync just wrote the data to /data until the HDD was full. Couldn't see this when I was onsite since the externa; USB HDD was connected and I thought it was being read from.

How the fuck was a book going to help in this situation knobhead? It required sitting in front of the machine and finding what was filling up the HDD. A book wasn't going to cover missing external drives not being mounted to their directory.

Maybe if you weren't so busy wasting all of our time with your beginners questions you would see how the two relate,

I think "rtard" should be optimized to just "tard" as it'll convey the same message and yet save a byte. Performance, performance, performance!

You will find that if I removed the "r" operator there then I would have to include a "include South_Park_Reference" flag which would just further confuse older compilers. The better ones all pick up on the "r" operator and use it to greatly improve output, the lesser compilers simply ignore it.
