I got an odd server message today and want to know what I should do about it. The message was:

sd (8,3): write failed, user block limit reached.

I was logged in to the shell as root when this happened. Any help?

either your hard drive is out of space - or you were writing to a clients account and it's disk quota is exceeded.

At least, that's what I found in a quick google. Didn't read too thuroughly.

hard quota -- the absolute limit of how much the system will allow you to write to your home directory. If you (or your program) try to write to a file in excess of the hard limit, the process will fail with the message ``write failed, user block limit reached''
