Downtime this afternoon

I blew a command and ran out of space on a device. There is nothing wrong with the Cellar database. Enjoy the rest of your day.

What command did you mistype?

[root@cellar /]# rm -rf *?

No biggie, I was doing a quick full backup to disk to write a few CDRs for offsite backup purposes. I wrote the output to /tmp forgetting that /tmp is a separate, smaller partition.

There's a reason why you theoretically put /tmp on a separate partition. It's so that you don't fill the root partition if you run a command that eats all your disk space. But that "good reason" doesn't fly if your critical apps need space in /tmp!
