Re: Session problems: "Warning: write failed: Disk quota exceeded"

G'day, Most likely they haven't pointed it to the right place (or maybe permissions? Doubt it would give this error for that). Session information is usually stored in /tmp on the hosting server (and on unix servers /tmp is actually a disk partition with a set size). There are a lot of applications on a hosting server that might use /tmp to store temporary files, so I suppose it is possible that something has filled /tmp up and PHP simply can't write to it because there is no where to write to! Call your host is my advice.
