I have an older red hat install 9.0. I am slowly running out of hard drive space even though I only use the box for a webserver, email server and a router. Can someone give me a clue as to how I may be able to clear some space?

The simple answer is find what is using the space. If you have a gui then use it maybe to find directories that filled with junk. If you have only command line then use maybe tools like du and others to find files. Might run disk check utility in case the file structure is being damaged. On very well used drives it might be that blocks are being marked as bad and you are running out of space. Low level format or replace drive to fix.

thanks for the response. I have been trying to make heads or tails of the directory and possible find logfiles or temp files but no luck. is there a typical place for temp files or log files?

Hi: From the command line, the linux find command can find the larges files. This link explains how to do it: http://www.computing.net/answers/un...
