Use whatever depth seems good to you.


cd <largest directory>
lather, rinse, repeat until you find the culprit(s)

        Subject:        [LINUX-390] Disk full


I have noticed that my system disk is full. I look in /var/log and found
numerious mail.xxxxx.gz, warn.xxxxxx.gz nad messages.xxxxxx.gz files. I
removed all of these files. I also noticed that the mail and warn files
were very large. I ran logrotate and it reduced the file sizes and
greated more .gz files. I looked in the warn and mail files and it was
complaining about the disk was full even after removing all those files
and compressing the other log files. Can someone point me to someother
area to look in, so these files will quit recording disk full?.
