File system full

[Paul Khavkine]

Hi folks.


Today for i have noticed that the /tmp partition on one of our mail
servers was reported as
full. I have checked if there's any files in /tmp but found that it
wasn't true.


du reports that /tmp is only using 50K.

After a few minutes the size changed from 100% to 66%.

Even that makes no sense:

%df -h
..
/dev/amrd0s1f                       492M   298M   155M    66%    /tmp

%du -skh /tmp/
 16K    /tmp/


Any clues to why it behaves that way ?



Thanx
Paul
