Hi All,

On a clean fresh install of oS10.3 done just 3 days ago, I get a notice
this morning that I had run out of disk space. Both / and /home in the
same partition, a 65GB ext3, freshly formatted. For some reason
/home/user/.xsession-errors had grown to about 48GB in size. I don't
have a clue as to why that happened, and opening it was taking too long
so I just deleted it. I now see a new one with about 1.8KB in size,
dated today of course. The only thing I did notice in the way of system
activity over the last 2 days was Beagle working overtime, almost
continually. Not sure if that is related.

Anyone know what could have caused this?

Not without the contents of the file. You wouldn't need to examine the
entire file. It's likely that all the lines are the same.

If it happens again, try tail -100 .xsession-errors instead of trying to
view the entire file.
