Watchdog error

Never saw this one before. Any ideas ?

[excess] /dev/sda1 (mount point /boot)

[Jan 27, 2010 07:19 PM] Disk space usage threshold defined for /dev/sda1 (mount point - /boot, size - 98 megabytes, used disk space - 31 megabytes) has been exceeded.

any idea ? like where would I be able to view these 98 megabytes?


The only thing I did over the last week or 2 was change the hostname from a static IP to mail.mywebsite.com . (so that it wasn't just a static IP anymore ) I doubt this had anything to do with it though.

forgot to mention...I did a Yum Update a day or 2 before...that downloaded a 'kernal-headers' update that was close to 20 or 30 MB's.

maybe that was it ?

 

[mike2010]

alright...so I now realize my /boot/ folder is over the threshold. Does this mean it wont accept anymore files when I do Yum Updates? I'd rather just keep it the way it is... I took a peak inside and its mostly just old kernel versions.

There can be lack of inodes but not diskspace.
