My expanded /var - full again!
by Milo4t from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4QPKC)
Hi all.
I had this exact same problem about a year ago (see: "I need to increase the size of /var - adjacent to an NTFS partition"). In that problem my /var was only 6.8Gb in size. After I re-sized partitions (NTFS and /var) my /var was (and is) 14Gb in size. It too has completely filled up.
I discovered this problem this morning when I tried to install an update, it failed as /var was full.
The main culprits are 3 folders I have found so far:
/var/log - 3.9Gb
/var/lib/plexmediaserver - 3Gb (I expected this but I need to keep that)
/var/spool - 3.7Gb
So what is going on, /var is twice the size now. Why are /log and /spool so huge?????
I don't want to have to go through the rigmarole of re-sizing all the time, that seems ridiculous.
As always, any help greatly appreciated.
