 |
|
This is not the first topic I posted about the problems with my server, but hopefully the last.
I am using sessions on a tmpfs-drive, then (suddenly?) apache goes crazy and uses all my processor cycles. I found the following error by php:
| Quote: | Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: open(/var/www/localhost/sessions//sess_c1cf6f5add9576cbd9ff3a50d59d8558, O_RDWR) failed: No space left on device (2 in /var/www/localhost/htdocs/include/bittorrent.php on line 23 |
df -h reports:
| Quote: | | none 512M 2.3M 510M 1% /var/www/localhost/sessions |
There were 32785 files in that folder, most of them empty. Does this mean I can't use my whole space?

You could have run out of inodes, try df -i

Seems to be right. Can I do anything about that? |

| Increase the number of inodes when you create the filesystem, e.g. -N with mke2fs |

I create it at bootup, and it's tmpfs:
| Quote: | | none /var/www/localhost/sessions tmpfs defaults,size=512m 0 0 |
