This leads me to a question I have been asking myself for a while. I was wondering if anyone has a script, or knows of a way to see where these large files are hiding.

Do you have another disk you can move the database to? It's not that hard to tell MySQL to use a database from another disk. The default is /var/lib/mysql/ In an emergency basis, you might be able to clean up some space in some of your other large directories. For example, clean up /var/log and /var/spool/up2date (the rpm and hdr files can be safely deleted - you can always download them again if you need to). -- Ed Wilts, Mounds View, MN, USA mailto:ewilts@xxxxxxxxxx Member #1, Red Hat Community Ambassador Program -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
