Disc quota exceeded when attempting to write session

Rails
1

Hi All,

When trying to write sessions file, I’m getting disc quota errors.
Looking into the sessions folder, I see:

-rw------- 1 www www 188 Aug 2 21:03 ruby_sess.d39a2c77b4750b72
-rw-r–r-- 1 www www 0 Aug 2 21:03 ruby_sess.d39a2c77b4750b72.tmp

I’m guessing the the tmp should not be there, as it does not show on
my dev setup.

I’m using rails (1.1.1) on FreeBSD, without quotas enabled (I checked
with Verio tech support) and ample disk space.

I would much appreciate anyone pointing me in the right direction.
TIA

Paul M.

Here is my log extract:

I forgot to mention that I’m running Lighttpd 1.4.11

This is not an answer to your problem, but have you considered
switching to using the database as your session store?

Instructions are here:
http://wiki.rubyonrails.com/rails/pages/HowtoChangeSessionStore

It should perform better and it may just cause your problem to go away.

You are right, I was not checking the correct user:

Quotas for user www:
/: kbytes in use: 25599, limits (soft = 25600, hard = 25600)
inodes in use: 294, limits (soft = 0, hard = 0)

Thanks a lot Tom and Philip. I’ll consider switching to a postgres
session store when time permits.

I’m using rails (1.1.1) on FreeBSD, without quotas enabled (I checked with
Verio tech support) and ample disk space.

You might not have quotas enabled, but does the ‘www’ user that things
are
being run as have it enabled?
