This has me baffled...for a while now.
A while back I noticed that every monday, between 9:30 and 9:45,
some 113Mb seem to disappear from /var/log. However, I can't seem to
figure out WHAT...
Here's what I'm doing. /var/log is a partition all by itself. And
I'm actively monitoring space on it. Everything runs fine, until it
hits that crucial hour on monday, then the used space suddenly drops
some 113Mb. However, I can't seem to find what it is that's being
deleted. I've gone as far as mirroring that entire partition at 9:00,
9:15, 9:30, 9:45 and 10:00. Between what I have on the mirror, and
what's on the drive, both before, as well as after the apparent drop,
there is no difference. There are no files physically being deleted,
nor emptied, nor truncated, nothing.
All of my files still have the same size as the mirror (within
tolerance at least, those files always change, but not 113Mb), and the
mirror itself has not been touched either (it's on a completely
different machine). I also checked every conceivable cron and at task,
I have nothing that runs during that time period that nukes data (nor
anything that runs any other time that may be responsible for this)
What am I missing?
