RE: [cobalt-users] the filesystem is getting very full...

["Networkers Web Services" <web@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

A few days ago, someone posted a RAQ question re: the filesystem
becoming very full suddenly. Our RAQ4 seems to do this too.

After some investigation, we found where the files were building up.

Our solution was to stop the mail services, then go into the
"/home/spool/mqueue/" directory (where you will see directories like
"q1" "q2" "q3", etc)... And delete all of the files inside these
directories, then restart the mail service.

A few weeks later it will fill up again (your server will email you
again telling you its' getting full), so you'll need to go in and run
those commands again... So there's probably a way to write a script to
do it when it becomes full.


Now although I've provided a solution, I still have a question - why
does this directory become full all the time, all of a sudden?


Cheers,
Andy
