df -h gives you a report on disk space. How much is used, how much is available and on which filesystem. Did you try it? It really is self explanatory. I would suspect that maybe one or more filesystems are full. Likely /var. The log files are usually rotated by logrotate, and only a few weeks worth of logs are kept. You really don't want to delete your logs. Look around using df -h and try to determine what is full, before deleteing anything. Then figure out what is very old, or not necessary. You may want to rebuild the machine with larger partitions. -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of McDougall, Marshall (FSH) Sent: Friday, June 16, 2006 9:17 AM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: RE: Areas to clear out on Redhat Server "Can someone advise me on what local areas i can remove on a Redhat ES Version3 Server as i am experiencing a problem when i run commands on the machine, it is intensely slow and i wondered if one of my temp areas was full or filling up. I found allot of data in the obvious place /var/log but i am unsure what i can delete without having an affect on the server itself. Any help/Advice would be much appreciated." What does "df -h" tell you?
