Hello,
Over the last two days, I've noticed a significant increase in the
size of /var on this system:
# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 148823 42962 93956 31% /
/dev/ad0s1f 11789353 1527589 9318616 14% /usr
/dev/ad0s1e 297663 51443 222407 19% /var
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
#=20
Normally /var would come in at around 13% - 14%, as was the case this
time last week, I believe.
Here's what du returns:
# pwd
/var
# du -h -d0
50M .
# du -h -d1
1.0K ./account
3.0K ./at
11K ./backups
2.0K ./crash
3.0K ./cron
24M ./db
1.0K ./heimdal
14M ./log
1.0K ./mail
2.0K ./msgs
1.0K ./preserve
56K ./run
1.0K ./rwho
11M ./spool
2.0K ./tmp
20K ./yp
62K ./games
2.0K ./lib
50M .
#
I am running IPFW for those who would ask:
# dmesg | grep log
IP packet filtering initialized, divert enabled, rule-based forwarding
disabled, default to deny, logging limited to 10 packets/entry by
default
#=20
Here's what's in /var:
# ls -la
total 21

drwxr-xr-x 19 root wheel 1024 May 27 01:20 ..

drwxrwxr-x 2 root mail 512 May 31 18:14 mail
drwxr-xr-x 2 daemon wheel 512 Feb 11 02:20 msgs
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Sep 18 2001 preserve
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Jun 9 15:37 run
drwxrwxr-x 2 root daemon 512 Sep 18 2001 rwho
drwxr-xr-x 12 root wheel 512 May 10 20:24 spool
drwxrwxrwt 3 root wheel 512 Jun 9 13:21 tmp
drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 May 26 12:40 yp
#=20
And in checking individual dirs, I would have thought log to be the
usual suspect in this situation:
# cd log
# du -h -d0
14M .
#=20
Here's what's in db:
# du -h -d0
24M .
#=20
At this point (sorry if I appear too thick) I'm not sure of what else I
could look at, but I am willing to provide some logs / configs to anyone
who is willing to help me get to the bottom of this.
Thanks for the time.
Stacey
