14 Zettabytes!

I'm getting weird emails from cPanel, saying "DISKCRITICAL" in the title.
 

The file system /dev/sda1, which is mounted at /boot, has reached critical status because it is 100% full.

Here is my df -Th command output:


root@cpanel [~]# df -Th
Filesystem                         Type   Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
********************************** ext4    50G   12G   36G  25% /
*****                            tmpfs   16G     0   16G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1                          ext4    14Z   14Z  397M 100% /boot
********************************** ext4   1.8T  23.1G  1.7T   1% /home
**********                        ext3   485M   12M  448M   3% /tmp
Look at the /dev/sda1 part, it says that there are 14 zettabytes of files in it which is logically impossible. I only have a 2TB hard drive. Keep in mind that there is only 0.5 zettabytes of files in the world in 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettabyte

Any ideas on how to fix?

I'd start by removing some stuff from your /boot partition and seeing what happens?

Is there anything interesting in /var/log/messages or the output of dmegs ?

wot?

try the a switch. There should be something in boot.. like, ya know, the kernel.

What's in grub?

root@cpanel [/boot]# ls -a
root@cpanel [/boot]#

Code: 
root@cpanel [/boot]# cd grub
root@cpanel [/boot/grub]# ls -a
root@cpanel [/boot/grub]#
Nothing special in grub.conf

Sounds like you have inode corruption. 

Reboot into single user mode and fsck your partitions.

Since it's just the boot partition, might be easier to just make a new filesystem and reinstall the kernel/bootloader.

If `ls -a` isn't listing at least . and .. then yeah, filesystem is almost certainly corrupt. There are other possible explanations, but they're unlikely and also not good (e.g. malicious kernel module).
