Re: URGENT: Whole DB down ("no space left on device")

I am getting this message when I start the DB:

What is this about and how do I solve this? A "df -h" on my system shows this:


/dev/sda2     ext3    9.9G  9.5G     0 100% /var

Well, the error message is pretty clear, and assuming you don't keep your database in any non-standard location, you /var partition is indeed full.
