Things will (probably) break Is this one single root / partition with everything under that or do you have /homes etc somewhere else, i did not understand your description. Basicly is /var on that disk as this is all your logs and temp files you can play hunt the offending disk wasters with the du command. Go to a directory eg / type du * -s | grep sort -g this will show you a sorted list of files and sub directorys and there size (biggest at the bottom) You might also have a large cache of rpm files some where in /var/cache/???? that you have downloaded etc through a package manager. I have seen bad log rotate bugs on mandrake where once it would rotate all logfiles and I think it managed to copy evey file in the log directory every time it ran eg it doubled the number of files evey day in /var/log/ my server quickly broke! -- Robin Cornelius http://www.byteme.org.uk -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
