Logfile kills the hard drive

Suddenly, nothing more. No sessions, no database connection, etc.

write failed: No space left on device (28)

Provided the SQL database, but as the hard disk may be full because if it was yesterday even as good as dead?

ls-Lah $ (find /-type f-size +10000 k)

To list proved to be very helpful because it allows this command, all files larger than 10MB of size.

So quickly was the guilty file, a log file which has expanded to a whopping 55GB.

That's how we in the Friday afternoon;)
