shrinking disk space ...
 

Big problem: my disk space seems to be shrinking fast ...
Linux starts complaining about it.

I installed Mandrake 10.0, and use it as a server.
Postgresql, Apache 2 and Tomcat have their data directories
set to a second disk, so there can't be the problem.

I could save some space for now by cleaning up some compiled sources
that were still in the local/src directory and not needed anymore,
but soon the problem will be back.

What is linux doing behind my back with my disc space ?
How can I
1) clean it up
2) prevent that linux keeps consuming more and more space
just by running ?

To clean it up.. remove stuff you don't use (packages, source code), old logfiles as well.

ofcourse
but if you understood well, that won't solve the problem.
the linux pc is used as a server,
I don't work on the desctop,
and the programs that use disc space have their own disc.

why is linux taking up more and more disc space,
and how can I prevent it ...
the question remains.
