  • 1.  Layer7 Inodes Size Issue

    Posted Mar 06, 2025 03:53 AM

    Hello,

     

    We noticed that some scheduled policies were not working properly for a few days. These policies inform us with an e-mail assertion as a result of the checks.

     

    When we checked the disk with "df -h", we saw that the usage in the /var/log volume reached 100% and checked the syslogs.

    The following logs repeat in syslogs,

    Mar 5 17:27:12 apigwnd4 cron[5593]: postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/629348.5593: No space left on device

    Mar 5 17:27:12 apigwnd4 postfix/postdrop[5593]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/629348.5593: No space left on device

    Mar 5 17:27:12 apigwnd4 cron[31617]: postdrop: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/644630.31617: No space left on device

    Mar 5 17:27:12 apigwnd4 postfix/postdrop[31617]: warning: mail_queue_enter: create file maildrop/644630.31617: No space left on device

     

    Then we increased the size of /var/log volume. But the problem persisted. When we checked the inode sizes with "df -i" we noticed that the usage on /var volume was 100%.

     

    So can we increase the inode size on /var volume or should we stop the mail service and clean the mail que somehow?

     

    Is there any known workaround about?
