Using 1.24.2 I am getting the following error messages on the login screen...

I seem to have space...

I haven't changed anything and it was working fine. I have purgewhenfull set to 90%. Any ideas?

Any ideas on how to recover from this?

You could try manually deleting some events (rm) then running zmaudit.pl manually. Where your events are stored depends on installation and whether or not deep storage is being used, but if you find them, this usually does the trick.

I manually deleted them, then was able to log in, and then changed purgewhenfull to 75%. That worked. Looks like you really have to plan ahead on the inodes. AFAIK there is no easy way to change the count.

What filesystem is the partition? I'm under the vague impression that you wouldn't have this issue with Reiserfs, it allocates them dynamically.

ext3... yes that may be true about reiserfs but do not know for sure.

Is reiserfs still being developed?

Googling will lead to a variety of news about Reiserfs, good and bad. Many worry about the further development of the filesystem, given the imprisonment of Hans Reiser and such. Personally, it seems to work fine for my purposes as is.

Wonder if they'll let him work on it from his cell?

Depends on what system he's in, he'd probably have to mail out code.
