As mentioned on my previous post, I’ve started using NSS Backup as my primary backup solution for my mobile workstation which runs Ubuntu Linux. I gotta say, it’s running pretty well, although recently I’ve had issues with Ubuntu recognising the mountable external hard disc I’ve been using as a back-up drive – save that story for another time – but yeah, it’s running pretty well. As mentioned I had asked the question. One of the development team members answered the question and requested that I open a ticket.

So a while ago, some time at close of business, I was doing some final tests for the fourth phase of project achilles when all of a sudden, I’ve been struck with some random mysql errors. “Data source not available” and other similar errors with other etc.

This is some crazy s#it which I didn’t need, deadlines coming at me left, right and centre, this is the last thing you want!

I thought it may have been a memory issue so I did a du:

du -s * | sort -nr | head

This reported that my fricking hard disk was full!!!!

How? why?! … HOW?!?!?
