And oh yes once the bloated error log was deleted and the server restarted, the Koha ILS was already accessible. I'm particularly curious if that really is the case.
It's quite plausible. All manner of things can go wrong when you run out of disk space, at the very least I'd expect mysql to throw a bit of a fit. For the servers we monitor, part of that monitoring by default is keeping an eye on disk space, usually warning when it gets below about 70% free and erroring at 80%. Often the final 10% of a disk is reserved for the superuser only in order to make it possible for them to log in and repair things. As for webcrawlers, they can be a real problem every once in a while. We slow down the well behaving ones with robots.txt to prevent them putting too much load on the server, and if we spot one that's not obeying that, we firewall it off. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
