<DIV>On my 5108R I'm seeing a fairly consistent problem where the log files are
growing and causing /var to run out of space - this stops mail for send/receive
and a few other things. It accelerates when there is a security issue as
the log files grow quite rapidly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Can I move /var/log to the /home partition without breaking the
server?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My idea is as follows, doing everything as root:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>mkdir /home/log</DIV>
<DIV>cp -r /var/log/* /home/log</DIV>
<DIV>rm -fr /var/log</DIV>
<DIV>ln -s /home/log /var/log</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Forgive me if this seems entirely stupid, but I have to do something
because every ten days or so I get calls/sms from clients saying: "oo-er, moi
email don't be working" (or something similar). All I need to do is delete
a few of the biggest log files and life resumes as normal.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Maybe someone has a stronger solution or would care to comment on the
above. Will this survive a reboot?</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks for the help. Richard</DIV></BODY></HTML>
