You mean your cache itself is in /home but /var is filling up? Sounds more like your log files are not being rotated regularly. Or your traffic load is too big for the storage you have available. A lot of programs use /var, so it may be many things adding together to cause the problem. run: du -sh /var/* Which will show you what parts of /var/ are the biggest space users and then recurse down to see what inside them is wasting space. > > Give some poniters, as i am a new bie. > > As of now, I keep deleting the files which are created on daily basis. > huh? what filenames?
