in the case of echidna and herring, the "out of space" is actually on a 
different partition, it occurs on /var (which I admit is undersized since 
loosing a disk)  from time to time.  Some rather major storm activity on 
Friday has taken this system off line for a while I hope to have it back in 
the loop by the end of the week.
