I used Snort + MySQL to sniff the traffic on a network. Because it was
unattended, after a few days the MySQL database took up the entire /
partition (i only had a small /boot and a swap partition, everything
else was on /).
I stopped the mysqld processes, and tried to erase the DB manually.
Well, it kind-of worked: some files were deleted ok, but a few ones not
(i tried to delete them with an F8 command from midnight commander).
I was able to delete all files by entering the directory, selecting them
all in mc, and F8 again. But the directory itself (/var/lib/mysql/snort)
wasn't deleteable.
Strange enough, when i created /var/lib/mysql/snort0 and
/var/lib/mysql/snort1 from the mysql client ("CREATE DATABASE ..."), the
old undeleteable directory dissapeared!
This is odd. No such problems should appear by simply filling up the
partition...
I'm using vanilla XFS-1.0.2a (from the ISO) on an SGI1100.

Jack Valenti, president of the Motion Picture Association of America,
has reported that the year 2001 was the "greatest box office year in
film history" with movie admissions reaching their highest level since
1959. Isn't this the same industry that is complaining that piracy is
putting them out of business?
