I'm sure Han is correct, and it is the full disk that is causing the problem.

I have some concerns/questions about this system + DAQ:

• Is this a mission-critical DAQ? What are the consequences to the experiment (ie. downtime, useless data) if it dies?
• The computer qweakl3.jlab.org is ancient hardware (PIII) running a really ancient OS (RHEL3). RHEL3 has been declared end-of-life for several years and was formally discontinued last Oct. 1. It won't see any more security or bug fixes. At minimum, stuff like mozilla should probably be uninstalled from that machine.
• Who administers this machine? Is it backed up in any way?
• It seems that the CODA files aren't been cleaned up (or a script broke), and the data drive filled. Are these being pushed to tape? If so, is this monitored somehow?
