After 1090 days, one of my VMs was restarted to fix a problem

It didn't fix the problem. The disk was full, yet only 7.6 / 16 GB were used.
There's this thing called "inodes" which you can query the use of with df -i
100% inode usage.. how? Tried to use find and sort to find out where they were used and.. oh it can't create a temp file.

Great. Eventually I found something that gives a recursive count of files for each directory. Home. Cendyne. Maildir?

Wait what's this? 884883 files for queued messages from root to Cendyne?

Okay.. every minute cron has been sending an email which has been queued in the inbox for years.

rm *
Are you sure you want to delete more than 100 files?
Y
...
Too many parameters zsh backs out
find -type f -delete

Finally, my vm is alive again
