We have a p90 with 32mb RAM running BSD/OS 2.0.1. We constantly receive the message (date) (machine) kernel: uid 0 on /tmp : file system full immediately after this message I issue df and get this information about the file system: FIlesystem 1-k blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on mfs:19 15871 29 15048 0% /tmp I also find this information: ps -aux (all other processes exluded by me - obviously) USER PID %CPU %MEM VSZ RSS TT STAT STARTED TIME COMMAND root 19 0.0 26.0 741 16556 ?? Ss 2:57pm 18.00 mfs -o rw -s 3 and the line from top yeilds this (taken at a much later time than the above info so some of these won't match at all) PID USERNAME PRI NICE SIZE RES STATE TIME WCPU CPU COMMAND 19 root 10 0 748K 17M sleep 0:49 0.00% 0.00% mount_mfs our server reboots because of a panic: page fault every 2 or 3 days also, i was wondering, and hoping, that the /tmp full error and the page fault error would be related. fsck is run every time our system reboots but I don't have enough experience with unix to know if an error unfixable by it would simply cause an error like this without making a filesystem unmountable Sorry if I didn't include, or included too much, information. Any help is appreciated. Thanks for your time.
