rm: /PATH_TO_FILE not removed: Disc quota exceeded

joyent, linux, solaris, sysadmin

This occurred whilst using Solaris on Joyent. Somewhat annoying when one can’t remove a file when “Disc quota exceeded”!

What one can do is override the file contents with nothingness.

cat /dev/null >/PATH_TO_FILE
