I got some news for you folks! Today I sent another email, this time I couldn't keep sarcasm for myself. Reported what the IT guy told me yesterday. I think he read the mail, because few secs he came in yelling at me about critics on his professionality (never made, just a "it's urgent, why are you ignoring us?"). And before leaving he stated: "You two (my colleague and I) configured that server, so it's up to you to find out what is filling the disk". Seriously? Are YOU (sysadmin) telling this to US (devs)?
However, cannot leave it as it is... so let's do it! -
@gugnir888 sudo rm -rf / --no--preserve-root will do it, it's your server anyway! 😜 /s

@alexbrooklyn lol that could be a solution 😁
Saturday 9.00 AM. I was sleeping, my colleague (on holiday) sent me a text: "We got a problem on our system, probably we ran out of space". I checked the log and found out that several cron jobs failed due to not enough space on the disk. I started deleting some unnecessary logs (we're paranoid) and ended up to squeeze the vm like a lemon to save some space. Sent an email to the sysadmin, "We got to add more space ASAP, users are getting 500 errror for almost everything". Silence. I thought to myself: "Until monday we're safe..". I did a df (96%) and sent a screen to the sysadmin, just to be sure that we understood each other. Finally monday comes, nobody worries about the issue. At noon I literally takled the guy of IT dept. "Yeah, we read your email. I think the sysadmin didn't take you seriously". "Why? Which part of 'we're running out of space' isn't serious?!!!". "He just told me that we have unlimited space on that vm". Unlimited space...sure.... "Right.....the disk is at 96%, buuuuut if he said so No news to worry. Don't call me if everything burns. Have a good day!!!"
