No space left on device: Cannot create SSLMutex

I've encountered this issue recently on quite a few occasions when apache wouldn't restart. Haven't figured out why it happens. I could see there are a lot of semaphores left with:

ipcs -s | grep apache

so i've deleted them with

ipcs -s | grep apache | awk ' { print $2 } ' | xargs ipcrm sem

and it let me restart apache

thanks to http://carlosrivero.com/fix-apache---no-space-left-on-device-couldnt-cre... for the idea.
