How do i clean md0 ?
Hi guys.. Just in case my /dev/md0 is growing more, how can i clean it up? /dev/md0 4.0G 1.1G 2.7G 28% I know there is no imminent danger but just wanna know.. :-) // Hans
You could use the du command e.g.
# du -csh /var/log/*
28% full is pretty normal so I don't think you have anything to worry about.
Yeah! that's one approach! :smileytongue: i like your sense of humor mdgm!
Any tips how since i don't want to mess up anything?
Any step by step guide?
Regards
Hans

If you don't have apps installed, then the main place to look is /var (and maybe /tmp)
If you do have apps installed (or have installed other packages yourself), then you need to know where they put their data, and consider moving it off the OS partition to the data volume somehow. Sometimes that can be done through configuration, sometimes you can do it with soft links.

That gave me:
4.0K /var/log/alternatives.log 4.9M /var/log/apache2 80K /var/log/apt 8.0K /var/log/btmp 292K /var/log/ctscand.log 372K /var/log/ctscand.log.old 304K /var/log/dpkg.log 8.0K /var/log/faillog 268K /var/log/frontview 0 /var/log/fsck 32M /var/log/journal 12K /var/log/lastlog 4.0K /var/log/LeafP2P.log 0 /var/log/mysql 0 /var/log/mysql.err 0 /var/log/mysql.log 0 /var/log/news 12K /var/log/proftpd.log 1.3M /var/log/readynasd 808K /var/log/samba 300K /var/log/wtmp 41M total
What do i do with it? :-)
If you had any run-away log files, you then truncate them (if you want to analyze them later, copy them to the data volume first).
echo > /var/log/logfilename.log
