Coppermine: "template error" "failed to find block"

[reddragdiva]

If you have a website running on Coppermine — like, say, ooh, reddragdiva.co.uk — and you get an error page that starts

Template error
Failed to find block

then you've run out of disk space.

(hawkeviper has been AWOL since January. So root is useful, particularly when the disk fills because /var isn't a separate partition because it's a virtual server. I searched across the net for this error, then logged in and tried sudo -s. It couldn't create a required file. Um. df -k. FUCK. Etc. You know how it goes.)

I'm currently watching while true; do df -k; sleep 15; done. Whatever shat itself is calming down, so space is going up and my front page works again. It may be just as well I don't have a camera right at this moment and haven't been out in a while. I'll just take a fresh backup ...

Update: Whoops, there it goes back up again. And sudo and su aren't letting me in! Normal service will be resumed as soon as it feels like it.

Probably not the time for a tooltip, but I recommend

"watch -n 15 'df -h'". Much less shell-scripty.

I assume of course that your df supports -h ;)
