Please see below the output of pwd and df commands:-

In my proxyserver, the access.log is under the path /var/log/squid.
Now please tell me do i need to keep the cache.log file. Can i delete this
file to create more space....?
Also what can i do delete/ squeeze the access.log file ?
squid -k rotate
I have looked into the squid.conf file, and there is line like this below.
cache_dir ufs /home/squid 30720 16 256
Thats 2/3 the drive space of /home. seems reasonable for a dedicated
proxy box.
What should I do or can do to reduce the size of the /var partition in my
proxy-server ?
The output if the df command shows up utilization of 94% of the hard disk.
[root@stud-pxy squid]# df

14855176 13145712 942696 94% /var

"store_log none" will kill the store log entirely. Its not really needed.
Regular rotate's as mentioned earlier and by others will keep the
access.log from growing so huge.
BUT, the squid files total to only 1GB. Whatever is causing the rest of
the 15GB to fill up does not appear to be Squid from those traces.
Are you sure the cores from earlier stopped rather than changing location?
