Re: [cobalt-users] Which files can I delete?

Hi! 

Yes, you can safely move *.gz and *.N files somewhere, but deleting them 
isn't a good idea - you may need them in future. 

You can also put your logs into /home/log and make /var/log just a 
synlink there: 

mkdir /home/log
cp /var/log/*/home/log
mv /var/log /var/log.old 
ln -s /home/log /var/log

You will need to restart all your services or reboot the box. 
When done, move log.old somewhere on /home
