[Zope] errno[28] No Space Left on Device..HELP

[saimun cheng]

Hi

Something strange is happening. I would like to get
the concept correct. I have mv the /var/tmp which was
100 % full to another path which i have mkdir (
"/home/madc/tmp"). After that I linked it back to
/var/tmp. 

After that I uploaded a 100 MB file and then I did a
"df /var/*", I can see the usage % increasing, and
this is due to the INSERT/UPDATE/SELECT on TABLE A in
mysql ( residing in /var/lib/mysql ). While this is in
progress, I uploaded the same file on another PC ( BUT
this time before actually uploading, the dtml-method
should kick me back to the form, because I left a
field out intentionally).

However, after a long time, I get a "Not enough space"
error again, when the file HAS NOT even been uploaded
yet. ( Because I am not prompted the "Fill UP all
fields" comment). Why is this so? The first file is
still being processed into TABLE A.

[madc at localhost Extensions]$ df /var/*

This is the df at the point the error shows up. 
1. Why the lack of space when there's still space as
shown above?
2. Why does the lack of space error shows up EVEN
before the file is being uploaded? What is the
process?

Thanks for hearing me out. I apreciate your comments.
BTW, I have done my google searches :)
