Disk full? Of course it's full.
Jun. 2nd, 2005 02:51 pmI have just got 4 helldesk calls:
"We urgently need more space on the 'v' Drive i.e $share on $server"
"$user is trying to move files to the $share share on vulture but gets the message that the server is full. Can more space be provided?"
"$user is running $job on $share and urgently needs some space freeing up."
"$user closed the following call (call link), as en extra 150mb was found. However today this is down to 512kb which is now affecting the business, as people are trying to save files over 1mb in size. Where has this space gone?"
AAAHAHHGHG!
I almost responded with "I'm looking through the filesystem now, looking for large files. I'll delete them, and then hope they weren't too important"
Or "A car park is not faulty when it is full of cars. A disk is not faulty when it's full of shit." (close call)
Or "Functioning as designed." (close call).
Or "This space would appear to have been used. My psychic predictor tells me that it was some random fuckwit saving some work."
Can you tell this annoys me?
(No, I didn't send those. I thought better of it, and decided to put them in LJ instead)
