Create Empty File to Deal with Full Disk
tl;dr
Nice trick to deal with disk full issues on a server:
After setting up the server, create an empty 8GB file in /spacer.img
.
Why? In case the server goes out of space, simpley delete the file.
That gives you more to fix the actual issue.
How to create an empty file?
dd if=/dev/zero of=8g.img bs=1 count=0 seek=8G
Learned this trick from here.
