Hi,

I've found that /var is fully utilized, after investigating I've found that the problem in /var/spool/clientmqueue.

can I protect my system from this problem?

In that case, it the problem was related to email.

Probably your best option is to enable some monitoring and reporting tool to "email" a message when you reach a file system usage threshold.

hi,

you should follow the advice from "Ivan Ferreira"

if you have enough space on the disk you could make a separated partition ( and make the symlink to the new location ).
