I know this is not related to hobbit but I had a problem where my web pages stopped updating and histlogs stopped writing.
I checked my server disk space with df -h and it showed 3.6gb free on my root filesystem where hobbit lives.
Try df -i - it sounds like you may have run out of i-nodes.
I could not run a man page because it couldn't create a temp file.
One of the reasons I never ran hobbit/xymon in the root filesystem - xymon can create a very large number of small files, and this can eat i-nodes faster than it eats disk space. Depending on OS and local preference, I'd suggest making an /opt or /usr//local filesystem with a higher number of i-nodes per block and run xymon in that filesystem.
Anyone have any idea why this might have happened?
Thanks, Dan
