What should I do first??----
from command line, cut down your large log files by locating them...
# find /var/log -type f -size +2000k -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print
$8 ": " $5 }'
Proofreading for the third time, I discovered a missing space;
now I get no error messages, and it tells me the culprit is /var/log/
messages for yesterday -- with 54GB all by itself. The poor thing must've
been going bonkers; gawdknows why ...
and any file that is really large (i.e. /var/log/Xorg.0.log)
command line empty it...
# > /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Is there some way to find out what makes that message file so big
-- i.e., why the machine was losing its mind? I can't hope to read 54
gigs in my lifetime ...
