[russell@loosenut.com: Re: [snips-users] hostmon errors]
|
I get the error regardless of how full my root partitions are. However, the error does not typically trigger an administrative email notification until something else that I am monitoring has gone into Critical state. From then on, I get the annoying message below until I restart hostmon at which point it is suddenly "happy" again. Weird... Stephen ----- Forwarded message from Russell Van Tassell <russell at loosenut com> ----- Yes, I think there are more details of this in the archive... it would seem to be a "simple" partition of something being close to full (in the default config). It's been seen, but personally I've not gone after it and tried to find it for Vikas... but, once I started keeping my root partition less-than-close-to-full, it seemed to go away (well, the alert did - I think it may still log, though).
