The short version: an invisible file called 'DS9/private/temp/ices.log' is incrementally written, increasing in size until it approaches 87G and fills the startup disk. 'DS9' is the name of the drive.
The long version: I have no clue what is writing this file. The obvious answer is Icecast, but I have never loaded that app on any computer. I DO stream audio with iTunes.
I googled 'ices.log', learning nothing, and I hit the Icecast support forum, also with no luck. I also posted to Apple's support fora in several places with no luck; but I did learn about a very nice app called 'Whatsize' that helped me at least identify the reason that my startup drive was filling up [until then I had no idea why].
I've been trying to identify by trial and error who is writing the file, but no luck yet. I was able to see the front [and rear] of the file in Terminal but learned nothing new.
Anyone else have any ideas/clues/directions?
