For that very reason it is recommended that /var (and specifically
/var/log) be on a seperate partition.
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.
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.
