[users@httpd] No Space Left on Device and Couldn't perform atomic initialization Errors

Hi

I have a strange issue with Apache (2.2.23), fronting a svn repository

Sometimes the system runs perfect for months between issues, others it's a matter of days. Could anyone shed any light on whats could be causing this issue. I've found many posts online where people raise the issue, but none where its actually tracked down to its root cause and resoloution. Most seem to just result is 'Restarted it and it worked'


When the disk has over 100GB spare on the SVN storage disk, and 10GB tmpfs /tmp spare....  I get the following error logged like:

How many indoes do you have free?  I ran into this issue a lifetime ago when I had a lot of small small small files that ran me out of inodes without even touching to overall disk space.

Many, many times this is when you fill up on IPCS
(semaphores and/or shared memory).

Use 'ipcs -a' to see what your current limits and usage is.
