Look for log files over 2Gb.

Thanks Nedani
It was the big log file

I've just had the same problem. The 2GB limit is imposed, from what I've read, by the ext2 filing system. Switching to another file system may solve this. To anyone else reading, to find the offending log file type "find / -size +2000000k -printf "Size: %kK\tPath: %p\n"

Phillip.

Well, you could try rotating the logs, or fixing/disabling the offending logger.

Hi,
I think its a bug in Apache related to Linux OS. Please clarify.

Also please suggest what is mean of "fixing/disabling the offending logger".
