Identify process/file relationship
Hey guys. So, I've got an issue on my Debian box.
Problem is I ran out of disc space as a process (?) has been creating millions of folders in one place which has led to me having 0 bytes of free space and started messing with my ability to get online, I believe this is to do with INODES?
I found the folder responsible and am currently deleting the contents, takes some time to properly overwite it.
What I need to know is how to find which process is writing or creating entries to prevent it happening again.
The entries are in .zip format.

This might help you:
Code:
fuser /dir/in/question

Thanks. I'll try that when I'm back with my system. At work at the moment.

Debian also supports lsof, which works some what the same as fuser.
