Anything ending with a .gz is an archive you *could* delete. A wise sysadmin will look through them before sending them to the bit-bucket. "ls -l /var/log/" will show you how much space each file is consuming. If you have a file that isn't being rotated, you might find something quite huge in there. Other places you might look, assuming a properly functioning system, include /var/backups (if you're dropping backups there) and, of course, /var/tmp. You might try "ls -lR /var/" and just look for big file sizes as well. -- Derrick Baumer - Black Duck Software To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
