One of our clients has been getting an intermittent error showing on the web pages we created for them. Message is as follows:

Code:
Warning: Unknown(): write failed: No space left on device (28) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

Any ideas what this indicates? The hosting package they have with their ISP is one where they have limited hard disk space available to them on the server and I know for a fact that they are getting near their current limit - given the wording on the error, is that the likely cause or is there something more complex going on?

It also mentions sessions - most pages in the site make simple use of a session variable to keep a record of the current page in the site. The client is a property developer and the session variable stores the name of the development who's pages the viewer was looking at when they clicked the 'register interest' button. On the registration page, the contents of the variable is then used to pre-tick the tickbox of the appropriate development and the session is then unset and destroyed.
 
Yes it looks like its out of space.

The session error is just due to the hard drive space as it prob writes some temporary data when a session is created.
