A database connection error has been detected, we are attempting to repair the server, if the repair does not resolve the issue, please contact Nagios support.

I have tried unsuccessfully to repair the database. I believe I may be out of disk space. any help would be greatly appreciated.

Let's confirm the disk space:

Code: Select all

df -h

[shawnashley]

/dev/mapper/VolGroup-lv_root 7.5g 7.g 137m 99%

I deleted some old backups and upgrade files and was able to get the server up and running again. It is a virtual machine and I added another 10gb to the VM. I do not have enough disk space to run a backup.

I would recommend using snapshots in that case, as your main source of backing up the system.

but I cannot restore the snap shot as it will put the machine back to the state it is now, not enough disk space.

Can I extend that partition without destroying the data?

[slansing]

Well, lets at least get you to a better position, what is the output of:

Code: Select all

for i in G M K; do du -ah | grep [0-9]$i | sort -nr -k 1; done | head -n 11

You may want to clear out some old logs in /var/, you can follow this to resize:

4.0k

I just cleared old log files and now have 2.7gb free. I should be able to get a backup now.

Great, I'd grab a snapshot if it is in current, working condition as well, and move that backup off of the system before you attempt to expand the disk via the above guide. Let us know how it goes or if you have any questions at all!
