root partition is filling after update to 7.3

redmalte
Hey everybody,

after i updated to version 7.3 my root partition is filling up till 100%. And then my astaro does not work very well, with a root partition that is full.

does somebody have a solution for this issue?


thanks

    after i updated to version 7.3 my root partition is filling up till 100%. And then my astaro does not work very well, with a root partition that is full.


    My root partition seems okay so far - it's my /var/storage that is out of control.  Last night it hit 100% (I noticed it was at 99% by accident because my notifications had stopped delivering as well), and I managed to get it down to 97% by deleting some things, but it's back to 100% today.

    I have a fairly small drive in there - I think it's either 9 or 18 GB, but this is a home-use server with about 5 people using it, so I didn't think it would need to be very big!

    And PS - it's been running since October 2007 with no real problems at all - it just seemed to suddenly start!

    Thanks.

    One more thing - I just looked at reports, and for the "yearly" stats I've had data drive usage of about 20%, but Saturday when I applied 7.3 software it spiked to 100%.

    Thanks.

    I found this -

    https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/53/t/32240

    I hope it fixes my problem, as my logs were set for 6 months!  They were fine on the log disk [:(]

    I guess I won't know until tomorrow, since it seems this only happens at night!

    It's getting worse.  Now BOTH my DISk and LOG partitions show 100%.

    Yesterday i installed the new patch to version 7.301 in the hope that the filling up problem has been solved. BUT nothing changed, the root partition is still filling up and i think when it has 100% my asg will stop working.

    It would be great if one of you whose ROOT partition is filling up would provide me with an SSH login. Please send the credentials via forum PM or agrosse at astaro dot com.

    Thanks,

    I sent you a message with the login data for my asg.

    Thanks for the login. The source for this problem is that the httpd process is constantly dropping core dumps to the root partition, and that the cleanup script which takes care of these dumps does not work for these dumps. There's already a fix for that which will probably be released in 7.302.

    Out of curiosity, Andreas, are these core dumps occurring because of "crashes," or are they normal? I don't think I've seen any of our systems do this.

    I wouldn't consider any crash "normal" [;)]
    We're currently investigating why it occurs, and so far we were not able to reproduce it. The only thing we can say for sure right now is that it only happens with certain configurations and/or environments, so it only affects a minority of installations.

    OK, so they're crashes.  The reason I asked if these were "normal" was that I think I've seen a few posts about this... I haven't seen it happen yet on any units I manage, but I'll keep an eye out for it.

    Seems I have a similar Problem,
    Root-partition filling up to 90%
    after installing Patch 7.301 (yesterday) it droped to 88%.
    Could you tell me whats the name of these Core-dumps
    and where are they located exactly ? 
    I would like to check this first, before getting deeper
    into researching the Problem.

    The 2% usage drop was probably just caused by installation of the 7.301 up2date package, which weighs about 100MB and is removed after successful installation. You can check if you have core dumps in /var/sec/chroot-httpd/var/storage/cores; it is safe to delete the core dumps ( in case there are dumps there).
