[PLUG] whoa, strange goin's on

Hash: SHA1

A customer called me about his VPS web server - appears to be out of disk space.

BUT...
df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/simfs             49G   24G   26G  49% /
tmpfs                 500M   48K  500M   1% /var/run
tmpfs                 500M     0  500M   0% /var/lock
/dev/simfs             49G   24G   26G  49% /dev/.static/dev
udev                  500M     0  500M   0% /dev
tmpfs                 500M     0  500M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                 500M   48K  500M   1% /var/run
tmpfs                 500M     0  500M   0% /var/lock

so 26 G left on /

when I, as root try to create a file:

touch testfile
touch: cannot touch `testfile': Disk quota exceeded


WhAt! quota? - I have none as far as I know.

grep 'quota' /proc/mounts
returns nothing.

Any clues are accepted gratefully... the sooner the better.
Still Google-ing and spelunking through the logs.


TIA
Eric
