Alkahest

bah – the past few nights, my website/blog keeps getting screwed up because all of the disk space on the drive is consumed.  the first night, i freed up some space, but didn’t pay attention to how much was free. it happened last night and again i freed up space, noting that i had about 700 MB free.  Tonight, it happened again and I finally tracked down what happened.  I do an rsync backup to an external drive every day.  A couple of days ago, I rebooted the machine and the external drive didn’t mount back up.  So I wound up doing a backup of my home directory and root partition to the root partition.  Of course the partition filled up.  Oh well, problem solved now.  I just need to be more careful in the future
