Hi Paul,

According to Thomas Oh in Cobalt's tech support, the log file
size is 10% of the initial space allocation for the site. I
specifically asked him and he said that size does not change if
you subsequently change the space allocation for the site.

As far as the Raq manual, and Cobalt's knowledge base goes, there
isn't anything about the log files. (I searched and searched.) It
would be nice if they included anything information about the
logs, how the work, etc...

You would think Cobalt thought no one would have any interest in
the log files at all. It's one of the many huge holes in their
information and support. Anyone at Cobalt reading this????

Best, .. David
