************************************************* This message has been scanned by IMSS NIT-Silchar Thank you Amos Jeffries for your mail. Please let me know should i straighway remove the "squid" and its subdirectories. In my proxy server its showing in the following path: /home/squid On doing so, after removing what all I would need do once again to make my proxy server work normally. Would be thankful to you if you provide me the step wise commands to be executed in order to do so. Secondly as of now the my proxy-server's disk usage is as shown below: [root@stud-pxy ~]# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/mapper/PrimaryVol-root 19838052 6365612 12448440 34% / /dev/mapper/PrimaryVol-var 14855176 13079092 1009316 93% /var /dev/mapper/PrimaryVol-home 34756272 29030008 3932216 89% /home /dev/mapper/PrimaryVol-tmp 4062912 139488 3713712 4% /tmp /dev/sda1 101086 34842 61025 37% /boot tmpfs 253424 0 253424 0% /dev/shm Its really creating a trouble for me to create space in the /var partition. What could be the reasons for the /var partition to go so big. Give some poniters, as i am a new bie. As of now, I keep deleting the files which are created on daily basis. Thanking you in advance, jmaan
