i have 0b left on my server, something is suddenly taking up all the space (i only had 10 MB before). But i cant run rpm to remove any of the useless stuff on my server. What should i do??!!! (other than copy the important stuff to my other computer and then re-install)
rtgwbmsr:
Find something that you know you can delete anywhere, and delete it. Then use RPM.
You could also just browse for the stuff you want to delete, and delete it. When you can run RPM, remove the rest of the files.
Adding another drive from another Linux system might be good...or if you have one lying around (I keep a 1 GB on hand...)
HTH!
Master of Reality:
i think thats my only option. I deleted samba and some other things. Then i ran rpm and half-way thorugh it said it ran outta space for temp files

Is one of your logs monitoring everything all of the time?
voidmain:
Probably the logging on your network monitoring apps that you were mentioning last night. Those things can eat up disk fast and in a hurry.
That's why on servers you normally have many file systems, one of which is /var where logs usually go. If logs fill up the /var files system oh well, it won't effect the operation of the server.
If something is filling up your disk as fast as you delete you can always boot from an alternate source (tom's boot disk or knoppix) and mount the partition, figure out where all the disk space went, clean it up, modify scripts to not start that disk hog and reboot..
