[GLLUG] rootfs is filling up

[Chick Tower]

You could sort the list of files in /var/log by size (ls -aoS, or -aorS 
if you want the largest ones last) and see what's filling up the largest 
logs.  It might be the same error message over and over, which would 
help diagnose the problem.

I'm not an expert on log files.  Are you using this PC (these PCs) as a 
server?  If your server is getting a lot of mail or spam, that might 
explain it.  A faulty configuration of some service might cause its log 
file to explode, too.

If /var/log seems to be where all the space is being used, I don't think 
you need to post your package list for us.
