You're right, I forgot some details. Here there are :

- Linux Debian server 2.6.26-2-amd64
- The users files are stored on a /home folder, itself on a LVM. This folder is on the system startup disk, same partition.

here is a df -v if useful :

Code:
/dev/mapper/vg1-root  24738940  11913564  11570492  51% /
tmpfs                  1027488         0   1027488   0% /lib/init/rw
udev                     10240       780      9460   8% /dev
tmpfs                  1027488         0   1027488   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1               241116     41850    186818  19% /boot
/dev/mapper/vg1-home 153796644 118100604  27883536  81% /home
/dev/sdb1            156288320 151228576   5059744  97% /mnt/backup

Thank you very much for your help !

sock2path - file that maps sockets to transport providers SYNOPSIS
/etc/sock2path DESCRIPTION
The socket mapping file, /etc/sock2path, is a system file that contains the mappings between the socket(3SOCKET) call parameters and the transport provider driver. Its format is described on the soconfig(1M) manual page. The init(1M) utility uses the soconfig utility with the sock2path file during the booting sequence. EXAMPLES
Example 1: A Sample sock2path File The following is a sample sock2path file: # Family Type Protocol Path 2 2 0 /dev/tcp 2 2 6 /dev/tcp 26 2 0 /dev/tcp6 26 2 6 /dev/tcp6 2 1 0 /dev/udp 2 1 17 /dev/udp 26 1 0 /dev/udp6 26 1 17 /dev/udp6 1 2 0 /dev/ticotsord 1 6 0 /dev/ticotsord 1 1 0 /dev/ticlts 2 4 0 /dev/rawip 26 4 0 /dev/rawip6 24 4 0 /dev/rts 27 4 2 /dev/keysock SEE ALSO
