	Well, my DNS server ran out of space and when I was able to 
	bring it back up, only / was mounted.  I was able to rm things
	from /var and /tmp to give me some assurance of a regular boot.
	Yes, before I did my first set of file unlinks I did fsck -y /;
	it was the only thing mounted.  

	I'm usually pretty disciplined about / having enough space.  Not
	this time... .
