/var is lack of space!!
My box has Apahce,PureFtp,MySql services, it's hardware:128M memory, i386 FSB 800Mhz,18G SCSI disk,FreeBSD 5.3.It's slice: / 256M /swap 256M /tmp256M /var300M /usrothers After installation,the useage is about 20%.But after few days, it increases 50%,so i moved the http and ftp logs,mysql data to another slice,but after several days it increases to 70%,now almost 90%.Perhaps my box will crash serveral days.I checked the /var/log,it only use about 20M,/var/tmp only 100k.So who and where used the space?How should I do? thanks every one,itis the first time i use freebsd's mailist. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Hi, run du on /var and find out what log exactly is filling up your directory. If you cannot find anything notable maybe the "/var" slice was not umounted properly so try to run fsck on it.

This is a good way to find out "where" the storage is being used: cd /var ; du -s * | sort -nr | more That will give you a list, sorted from most storage to least, of each directory (or file) at the /var level. You can then choose to descend into one of those, and run the command again, to drill deeper. This is slightly manual, but I find it helpful to stop and think at each level what it is telling me and what it means. -- John Lind [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

Technical notes: 1) given you're already at /var, the "*" is superfluous. 2) if you omit the -s, you get the "drilling down" for free: 47100 ./db 40126 ./db/pkg 13160 ./log 10738 ./log/samba 5554./mail 3688./spool 3656./spool/clientmqueue 2072./db/scrollkeeper 1648./db/clamav 1096./db/pkg/teTeX-texmf-2.0.2_3 796 ./db/pkg/linux_base-8-8.0_6 at the cost of a much longer list. I have it set up so this runs as a cron job and is waiting in the morning e-mail.

No, it's not your technical notes are WRONG, you've not understood my point. With the "-s" option and not the *, you'd only get the total usage for the filesystem, and he already knows that from the "df". > 2) if you omit the -s, you get the "drilling down" for free: You've entirely missed my point.

When looking at this, you need to remember that the ./db 47100 contains the ./db/pkg 40126 - you can't add up that column of numbers to see what part of the total filesystem is in use. I'm not saying my way is the only way, but at least I'm not telling you your way is wrong without understanding it.

Hmm. That directory contains only files which represent e-mail messages in flight. This may not be good. >From the information that I have, it is difficult to be precisely certain, but I have seen this behavior when there are e-mail messages that are too large to be delivered. So you have really big files that are taking up a bunch of room in /var - and so there is no room in /var/mail to deliver them. Sendmail keeps trying, but there's no place for them to go. So - the question is - were the undelivered messages you deleted valuable, or were they junk mails? -- John Lind [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

You could check the files that name start with a 'q' somewhere toward rge top of the file it will tell you why that specific email is on hold. [the file which corresponding name starts with a 'd' is the body of the message]. Then use your judgement to decide what message you could delete (both 'd' and 'q' files). You can also try /usr/sbin/sendmail -q to expunge the queue.
