Hello K-P you are right, there is even a small error in the abbreviated version, At the bottom I included a part of the original xml documentation. hope this makes it more clear.

The default is NO. </para> <para> This will check how much space there is left on a device you specify. If the space is less than the limit you set than a choosen action will be performed. For example delete files and mail an alert </para> <para>In contrast to the original Dachstein and LRP version which tested the root device the Bering image tests the /var/log device as this is on a separate partition. </para> <para> The configuration may seem a little complicated at first. The lrp_SC_MNT= sets the abbreviation for the different partitions/directory that should be tested <example> lrp_SC_MNT="L T" </example> Corresponding there should be a variable set with the name of the partition / directory <example> lrp_SC_MOUNT_L="/var/log" lrp_SC_MOUNT_T="/tmp" </example> Now you can specify a treshold for the memory to take an action. You can specify this as KB (lrp_SC_MINKB) or percent of the partition.(lrp_SC_MINPER) <example> lrp_SC_MINKB_L="200" lrp_SC_MINPER_T="30" </example> in this case there will be an action as soon as the free memory on /var/log is less than 200 KB on the /tmp partition there will be an action as soon as the amount of free space is less than 30% </para> <para>As soon as one of the treshold for a certain partition is reached the following action is taken. look if there is a variable specifying the level and nullify the files in this variable. Now the space is checked again to see if the space is still under the treshold level if yes then the next level files is nullified. This continues untill level 5 is reached. <example> lrp_SC_L1="/var/log/*.4.gz" lrp_SC_L2="/var/log/daemon.log" </example> in level 2 /var/log/daemon.log will be set to 0. </para> Regards Eric Wolzak member of the Bering Crew ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _______________________________________________ leaf-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/leaf-devel
