Bad file descriptor

[eejonmetcalf36]

I haven't tinkered with my site in a while, but today, when I try to save a file change or upload a new file, I get an error that says: "Could not write "(file)", you may be over quota: Bad file descriptor".

I know I can't be near my disk space limit. Is my account locked out or something?

just to be sure....

check your account's disk usage (amount of disk space allotment used) on x10hosting free-hosting server...
in [ cPanel-x3 ] theme's home page (not x10hosting Basic) - look down left side for [ Disk Space Usage ] - you might need to open ( click on ) [ Stats ]
NOTE: if you are NOT in the [ cPanel x3 ] theme - click on the "Switch Theme" button at the top on the screen (after you Sign-in at [ https://www.x10hosting.com/sso/login ]) - you can choose between [ x10Hosting Basic ] and [ cPanel-x3 ] themes

be sure to check the number of [ inodes ] used - 50,000 is the maximum
Cron jobs - made by you or a CMS you use - can put a lot of Emails on your account (over time) - each one counts as a file (one inode)

Sure enough... Did they reduce my disk space? I haven't added anything for ages.

Sure enough

disk space is initially limited at either 512MB or 1024MB. Users may request (in this forum) for unmetered (not unlimited) disk space once they have used over 50% of their current disk space limit - AND have had the account for over 7 days - AND the account is in good standing (no current suspension) - AND the account has a valid [i.e. working] website that follows x10hosting's Terms of Service (TOS) - the upgrade is completely free.
