-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Package: apt-proxy Version: 1.9.29 Severity: normal
This is one of three computers in my family's little LAN. All are switched on for only a few hours a day, as neccessity demands. I am running apt-proxy on this particular machine. This saves quite a bit of (both Debian and my) bandwidth, and (my) time. Good stuff. I only need to have it switched on and running when I do apt-things on any of the other machines, that depend on the cache. Today, I was running out of disk space on /var. With "df" and "du | sort -n", I quickly found out that /var/cache/apt-proxy is much larger than I would like it to be. A solution for bug #198859 would help... As a workaround, I set, in /etc/apt/apt-proxy-v2.conf: cleanup_freq = 1d max_age = 40d Both numbers had been considerably higher previously. I issued /etc/init.d/apt-proxy stop and /etc/init.d/apt-proxy start, to make the two changes valid immediately. I don't think I had a cache cleanup yesterday. So I expected quite some disk activity, and presumed the disk space consumed by the apt-proxy cache would come down considerably. But neither of the two happened. At this point, I'm still running with a close to overflowing /var file system.
