I am not sure what is causing this problem, when I erased a bunch of log and temp files stored under / I did manage to free up some space. If I was to add another hard drive, would it be a problem to get it working with the RAID5 the other drives are on? I would rather take some free space (if possible) from somewhere else and add it to /.

Help! My system seems to have run out of space on /dev/hda6 and it causing lots and lots of problems. Everything on the server is set up as RAID5 (Values shown below are 1/3 of system space). How can I shrink /dev/md0 and increase the size of hda6, or some other suggestions to get this working? Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

I tried all those things. It is like the Yahoo Groups webserver refuses to send out the HTML page to Konqueror in some circumstances. Wierd.

Make sure that Konqueror is configured to allow cookies, java and javascript ... yahoo might be using one of those. If that is not the problem try changing your browser identification to pretend that Konqueror is IE or Netscape, I have to do that with PC banking before they'll let me bank. -- Fraser Campbell <fraser-Txk5XLRqZ6CsTnJN9+BGXg at public.gmane.org> http://www.wehave.net/ Halton Hills, Ontario, Canada Debian GNU/Linux -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
