CirrusDisk space under /var/log
Hi,
I need some help to figure out low space issue under /var/log.
I got the message about /var/log/ running low on space. After checking used space I cannot figure out what is using it:
pwd
/var/log
df -h .
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg--db--sda-dat.log.1
6.9G 6.2G 382M 95% /var/log
du . -sh
30M .
From what I can tell /var/log only has 30M of data, but 'df' shows 6.2G is Used. It's not used by LVM snapshots either ('Snap%' is empty in 'lvs' output).
Try using lsof to see what files are opened. It's highly likely that you've deleted the log file of a running program. That program will continue to output to the unlinked file.

Dmitri_Ch__1425That's it! Looks like a monitor log file was deleted before disabling Monitor Logging on a node. Thank you.

have you checked hidden files?
Why doesn't this show the hidden files/folders?

Hello everyone,
You can delete extra backup from Archive and /var will be free, 2nd thing you can remove extra zipped files from /var/log/apm.1.gz, maillog.1.gz, etc.
