Dear Gurus,

Running a 2100 server under DU4.0B

All of a sudden, the root file sytem has become full up (101% full)
and lots of messages (file system full) appeared on the console.

The directories /usr, /var and /tmp are NOT under /

I've tried:

"find / -size +5000k -print" and found nothing special

"du -a -k -x /" reports 60 Mb used while / is 150 Mb large.

How is it that / is reported to be full? A problem with /proc?

Not being able to find the solution, I rebooted with "init 0" but
this did not change the problem. "df" reports / as being 97% full.

Could you help Pleeeeeeeeeease?!
