Stranger things have happened but I didn't think the Disney folks had implemented smog particle simulation in the kernel space:-) Your original comment about rewriting kernel code to use less space is equally valid for user code but Pirzyk probably wanted a quick fix first. > he also needs to look at his login class in login.conf, > and "ulimit"/"limit"/"limits" (based on the shell he is > using), to crank up the user space quota, and not just > the top end limit.
