RE: [cobalt-users] Need To Find The Fix For This

I've been searching the archives, because I KNOW that someone posted a
fix to this not too long ago.  I think it involved creating a directory
somewhere else and creating a symlink so there wasn't heavy disk usage
on the /var partition?  Is this correct?  Im sitting here with my active
monitor going nuts and it shows that all my sites have UNLIMITED Allowed
MB and they all show 4.8 MB Used and 100% Usage!  I checked my
/var/log/httpd/access file and I think it's only 4MB in size.  So, any
help is VERY Appreciated, even a link to that past post from a few weeks
ago.

Thanks,
Robert

Robert - Michael posted the last 'fix' for this - the syntax for the symlink
is contained.  The failure to rotate is probably just a side-effect of /var
filling up (my logs stopped rotating when I inadvertently had my MySQL
datafiles in /var).

Here's Michael's reply:

Hi Shawn.

OK I had this exact same problem on my raq4.  What was happening was a log
was growing to epic proportions.  A fellow named Charlie here on the board
gave me the fix and it worked.  I don't know if it will work on your
machine, but it worked on mine.

mkdir /home/webdata
cd /usr/admserv/html/.cobalt/report/
mv * /home/webdata/
cd ..
rm -r ./report
ln -s /home/webdata/ ./report

This removes the logs from the usr directory (which consumes the / partiton)
and moves it to the /home partition and provides it a symbolic link.

find out if it worked by typing the df command
Filesystem           1k-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1               743466    472449    271017  64% /
/dev/hda3               198601     56688    141913  29% /var
/dev/hda4             17671528   1584052  16087476   9% /home

This reduced mine from 95%
