No Space Left on Device, but device has tons of space.... CONFUSED!!



When I type my "mail" command i get

/tmp: No Space Left On Device

I've ran the following commands and here's what I get:

[root@board tmp]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda8             494M  108M  360M  23% /

Hi sneidig,
how big is your mail file ?
/var/spool/mail/<username>

otherwise run a fsck to solve the problem can e som filesystem inconsistency.
