It is actully a MySQL database for a customer that we host for.  The database 
has about 1 million records in it so far and this user expects to add more 
than 1 million a year.  The database is not really all that large (about 
165MB) but it has filled the / partition.  Does anyone have the link for  
steve bassi's script?
