... which is exactly what Jennifer needs at this moment (if she has room
to install lsof). She has removed files yet not freed space and needs a

Early in this thread I recommended a reboot. What, 4 hours ago and the
server still ailing? A 5 minute reboot might have been a minor
inconvenience in retrospect.
