Re: [cobalt-developers] What is filling my /dev/hda1 ????

["BlackSun: rm -r -f" <rm-r-f@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

Do a 'df' command and post the results to the cobalt-users list.  Not sure
if you mean the / partition or the /var partition?

Mysql is generally in /home/mysql no?  So that would be part of the /home
partition and would not be part of the disk usage problem you describe.

If its the /var partition that gives you the 93% perhaps its the log dir?
Once you do a 'df' and you know what partition is in fact chewing up space,
in shell, cd into that dir and run 'du' this will give you a list of all
files and their size recursively, and a total in MB.

If you find something large, or silly, like huge log files, or other files,
you can move it to the /home partition and setup a symlink.

Ie..

mv /var/log/ /home/log/
ln -s /home/log /var/log

If you do a ls -al you'll see the symlink.

lrwxrwxr-x    1 root     root           14 Aug 13 13:33 log -> /home/log

You can then do another 'df' check and the percentage should be reduced..

Others may agree/disagree with this method, but it has worked for me.

Cheers,

P.S generally you would post this type of question to the cobalt-users list
and not the cobalt-developers list.  As the users list is for assistance
with troubleshooting issues, and the developers list is more for discussions
relating to software development / programming etc.. Etc..
