heh. I wish that were the case. But since I had 1.2TB of free
space after my reboot (Yes, I ended up rebooting my server to fix
the problem), it was a software issue. Some package was eating up
the space. Linux has an odd quirk that, if you have a file open,
but delete the file anyway, that the file no-longer shows up in
programs like du, ls, etc. But the space is still used up until
the file-handle is closed. Some software was making a ton of
temp-files, or one huge temp-file, and did not close the
file-handle until I rebooted.

But, instead of blaming it on Linux in general, we can blame it on
some unknown Linux package...

Well, most often that is what is the cause. 'Looks like something
that needs to be fixed "at the root," eh? ;)<br>
