We're running out of disk space and this needs to be fixed in the next few hours. See http://ganglia.wikimedia.org/graph.php?c=MySQL&h=db40.pmtpa.wmnet&v=406.493&m=disk_free&r=day&z=medium&jr=&js=&st=1317836378&vl=GB&ti=Disk%20Space%20Available
More details may be added, but Roan is currently running a query to see how much space can be cleared up by deleting space used by an old iOS hack.

Domas has a short term workaround, which involves periodically truncating one of the 256 tables in the parser cache. This has had a negative effect on our hit rate:

(note: yellow is bad)
...but, as you can see from the disk utilization graph above, we're not chewing through disk anymore. I'm assigning to Tim since he's responsible for the long-term fix, but Domas has fixed the most urgent problem.
it isn't "periodically truncating one", it is "truncating all over extended period" - as old data will not be referenced anyway.
The immediate crisis is averted. Will create separate bug to make sure we've got regular purging going on.
