Same here. My 120Gb SSD just filled up. Good thing I'm an advanced user and I could manage to find the offending folder. A newbie would just need to give up. The harddrive analyzer would not give any info (maybe because the disk was full).
In my case, it was unity7.log, which was about 50Gb. Is there any way to completely stop the upstart logging? Shouldn't that be the default for regular users? This seems like a real bug. Logrotate is installed here, and I'm running Ubuntu-14.10 (upgraded from older version for, well, close to 10 years now :-) ). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240848 Title: ~/.cache/upstart takes up around 70GB of space due to unity and mediascanner Status in Unity: New Status in “mediascanner” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I just noticed that ~/.cache/upstart/ folder on my computer is taking up 69GB of space. Upon further investigation, I found out that mediascanner.log and unity-panel-service.log take 12GB and 54GB of space respectively. I'm not entirely sure if this is related to upstart as I had removed logrotate package because of a conflict.
