Hello all, We had a disk full situation about a week ago. We cleaned up a little and now we're down to about 91% full and the inode usage is about 28% (according to df), but ever since then, the syslog has continued to log this error... Mar 16 20:49:22 celeste.mmwb.ucsf.edu grcond[3864]: CIO: no space on dev 1626 Mar 16 20:49:22 celeste.mmwb.ucsf.edu last message repeated 17 times Why? Should I be doing something about this? We haven't had any problems writing the disk in the usual manner. The system is a 4D/20G with a stock 380Mb disk, the disk is mounted from /dev/usr on /usr and is exported via NFS. The NFS traffic for the disk is heavy because it contains our homes - that's why all this makes me a little nervous... While I may have the attention of some of you, what does this message mean? (you can see whatever it is, grcond is pretty adamant about it) Mar 16 19:48:20 celeste.mmwb.ucsf.edu grcond[29547]: CIO: SGI_set_rects: state not initialized Mar 16 20:48:30 celeste.mmwb.ucsf.edu last message repeated 12 times And Another Thing :-) #ifdef HAVE_GRIPE What exactly does grcond do? I can't find any documentation on it. It'd be really helpful to have more documentation on how the console processes are handled and the /etc/gl directory in general. More than once, we've had bizzare little problems, like the window server not starting with a nondescript error message, that might be solved by us if we had more documentation. In one particular case, the hot line people started mentioning "board swap" - we said "no way, jack." A ./MAKEDEV and re-boot fixed the problem - but I'd like to know why. Grepping strings output for the source of error messages doesn't cut it. #endif These are *really* great machines. It's been a blast having one almost completely to myself. I'm looking forward to the day I can have one at home. Thanks for your help on any of the above problems. - Scott -- Scott Presnell +1 (415) 476-9890 Pharm.
