RE: [cobalt-security] Need some help on "spam" report

Thanks,

Here's how we sit:

Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1              1.4G  545M  907M  38% /
/dev/md3              484M   75M  409M  16% /var
/dev/md4               33G  8.0G   25G  24% /home

so I have a bit of room.

Chuck

The weekly line indicates how often to rotate. I would leave it alone.

This is all I changed on mine, the amount of backlogs. Since I have plenty 
disk space and a lightly loaded server, I just put in
rotate 9999
I also have compression enabled, I don't recall if that was on by default 
or not. I know one thing for sure, on a RaQ4 I once maintained, /var was a 
separate small partition. You can cause major problems if the Qube uses 
this scheme, and /var fills up with logs.

 From the command line execute
df -h
to see how your disk usage is right now. If you increase the backlog rate 
at all, keep a close eye on disk usage over the coming months to make sure 
it doesn't fill up. I have logwatch installed and I get a daily report on 
disk usage.
