Over the space on the server

[tza]

Hello,
I have a problem on the server
My server has 70 GB, I stayed by the command df-h 3 GB free

My server every day at 1 gigabyte afraid
Home folder size of the files is 8 GB, and size you put lib / mysql is 30 GB

Folder spool / exim - I do not know what is it - 4 GB

How can don let me delete things air on the server, are there any folders or files that install operating systems or drinkers (deleted folders and backups and logs)

thanks you

Those file sizes are for the logs and exim queues are just a bandaid (patch) to get some more space on your server - and you'll be back into them again soon enough.

Why don't you add another drive for storage? you can always mount this drive and move your folders over to it. If you don't have physical drive space, you can always use iSCSI or NFS.

Other option could be to setup a new server with DA and use the admin_backup feature to move the accounts to it.

is good to delete
exim/input
exim/mslogs
?
this is 5 GB

No - you should never delete these files, you should instead use the Exim queue management commands. Check out this site for queue commands for Exim:

Have a command or something to do exactly, I'm not good with it? To save a few more days until we'll upgrade, every day, 1-2 GB

You may find this exim cheatsheet helpful.

However if you're adding 1 to 2 GB to your exim queue files you've got an email problem.

i dont understand which command i need to use
i serach i this site but dont konw

Start by removing all frozen emails.

When I first found this cheatsheet I didn't tell anyone about it; I thought it would get me some business.

But I and others have been giving it out for some time now. And I still get lots of business .

Note at the top it tells you that you need experience in order to use it. If you don't have experience then you probably need to hire someone, at least when you have problems, to manage your server.

But hey... that's my business, so I'm probably prejudiced.

Perhaps someone else will reply with some specific instructions on what to run.

I agree with Jeff, I always let the them see the potential to solve their own problem, and if they see the problem is too technical (as Jeff says), they should seek a professional to complete the work.

df -h

yum can delete all yum cache.

yum clean all

also you can remove old tar.gz files of custumbuild

./build clean_old_tarballs
