[plug] File System Errors

[Steve Grasso]

Andrew,

This sounds more like the /var partition either running out of inodes or 
diskspace. My suggestion for a quick-fix would be to set up a cron job to 
periodically move old log files to another partition/machine, or delete them, 
and to check in /var/spool/mqueue for runaway error messages to root. Set up 
a cron to move or clear these out also.

Regards,
Steve
