Re: OSX Server 4.10: hidden HUGE Log file

Dana,

I had the same thing happen with a 10.4 server. It turned out to be the Tivoli log file growing out of control. Check your aging configuration. That's a likely source of the problem.

 Hi All,
 This happened to me once before but I can't remember where the file was located to delete it.
 All of a sudden I'm getting messages that my disk is full. It's a 40gb partition and I know that there aren't 40 gb of 'real' stuff on it. There was a hidden log file that was huge probably > 10 gb that once I deleted it all was well again.
 This ever happen to anyone else and where can I find this file
 Thanks!

 I would probably use Terminal and the "find" utility. Logged in as root or using sudo, issue the command "find / -size +1000000000c -ls" -- that will locate everything on the disk over a gigabyte or so.
