Thanks Chris, that wasn't the problem.  Only 39% full. I'll have to look 
elsewhere.  Rick

Subject: Re: [tech-geeks] IPCop - how to delete log files?

Look at IPCop's Information page, and scroll down to Disk usage. If a harddrive 
is reported as 100% used, that's your problem.


Cure

If it's the root partition (/), look at the size of the web proxy cache on the 
Services page. Try a smaller size, and then hit the Save button. The proxy 
should reconfigure itself fairly quickly, creating some space on the disk.


If it's the /var/log partition, log into the IPCop box as root and inspect the 
contents of the /var/log directory.

cd /var/log
ls -al

Delete files with the rm command. Take care, it's a powerful command. For 
example, to remove all files in the current directory ending in 6.gz


rm *6.gz

Continue until you've created some space. There are also some other directories 
to look in for old log files. Snort, the Intrusion Detection System (IDS) 
creates large log files.

Apache logs are in /var/log/httpd

Snort logs are in /var/log/snort
Squid logs are in /var/log/squid
