Ah - I hadn't  noticed before because that domain is not used to host web pages,  but the home 
(ns) site was allocated 1000MB of space. Now even though all it  has on it is the default cobalt 
index.html page system status shows the usage as  1%.  I looked in the logs directory but the 
files are fairly small (20MB max) so  where would I find the large file that's causing the 
problems?   


More details would be very useful - thanks very much. Email address is below. 

We are arranging for more RAM to be installed which hopefully will help but I  would prefer to 
resolve this now and make sure it doesn't happen again.
