[gentoo-user] consolekit daemon problem

[gentoo-user] consolekit daemon problem

[covici]

Hi.  I am using consolekit on gentoo 64-bit unstable and its giving me
warnings saying unable to add monitor -- n o space left on device.
File systems seem to be fine and a google search did not show anything
relevant.

Anyone have any ideas?

Oct 21 14:42:15 ccs console-kit-daemon[20795]: WARNING: Failed to add
monitor on '/dev/tty4': No space left on device
and similar many messages like that.  What file system is it trying to
use -- all the df's look good to me.

hmmm. inodes? does df -i show 100% somewhere?

Nope.  I wonder if the message is misleading?

is there a specific reason that you do not post the output of the df
commands?

normally it's full HD or running out of inodes.
searching the web i found one other guy having this problem a year ago,
not reproduceable, no solution provided and in german:
http://forum.ubuntuusers.de/topic/console-kit-daemon-warning-failed-to-add-moni/#post-2513925

are there other error messages regarding console-kit or with "no space
left" in syslog?
can you maybe strace the console-kit-daemon or run it verbose or
increase its log level and see what it does when it prints this message?

I can see about its loglevel or strace.

I have a lot of volumes, so I didn't send the output, but I think it
uses sysfs or something.  I saw one post which said something removing
something from grub, but no solution was there.
