File a bug with the software that left the huge logfile (MythTV?), to have an option that will not log all that was not necessary. A logfile that fills a file system is bad, probably worse than whatever caused the crash.</blockquote><div> The big logs are caused by my own code -- I'm debugging something. I just want a way to limit the damage. The diskless boxes use NFS for their filesystems, which impacted the server -- which does matter. Bugs on the diskless boxes don't really matter -- I just press reset :) So -- I guess I'll make a few filesystems. . . . perhaps it's time for me to use LVM. -Dave </div> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Dotan Cohen <a href="http://lyricslist.com/">http://lyricslist.com/</a> <a href="http://what-is-what.com/">http://what-is-what.com/</a> -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com"> fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote></div> -- David Frascone Oxymoron: Safe Sex.
