I am getting these errors on my site, yet i haven't changed any code or anything, so I don't why this is happening.

Warning: Unknown(): write failed: No space left on device (28) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(): Failed to write session data (files). 
Please verify that the current setting of session.save_path is correct (/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

I'm assuming you're hosting your site on a shared hosting provider Basicly the error means that the server has run out of disk space, so it can't complete the sql commands

Just call/email the hosting company and they should fix it for you
