Whoah! Came back from lunch and Flutterby was out of disk space. Not sure what was going on, but I have my suspicions about someone having a transaction open over some huge database operation... ("oh Toooooodd?"). (Don't take that as a direct accusation, I'm not sure yet what was going on [grin]). Anyway, we're back to a comfortable space on /var.

Todd: Might have been one of my cron jobs run away, it sure looked like some join gone horribly wrong in the PostgreSQL temporary files; maybe a join of something like "articles" against "users" and "topics" in a way that expanded to count(articles)*count(users)*count(topics). I shutdown PostgreSQL![[Wiki]](/adbanners/lookingglass.png){kind=small}
, deleted a bunch of old Apache files to give it space to quit, restarted both, and things seemed okay. The shutdown took quite a while.
But we're groovy now.

ALL YOUR SPACE ARE BELONG TO US
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
