Migration failed

[Joern@]

Hello together,

I have to write about my problem again.

The device /var has about 4 GB store place on the server.

After a while this device gets full. I have no more space.


It is the second time that this problem happend.


The next Thing is to reinitialisating the server with a new
linux system and than migrate again.

maybe someone have a good advise for me, how to migrate the data from the old server correctly.


Here is the failure notice from my system:

Thanks.
Joern

It seems to me that it would be a better use of time to determine why the /var directory is filling up, and clear some space? If it is the /var directory, the most likely culprits are either /var/log or /var/spool, with /var/qmail/queue being a close third if you or your users get a lot of spam.

Once you find out where the files that fill the space are, you can determine what will work best, either archiving the files (gzip) or purging them altogether, and should be able to manage that with a cron so you don't have to constantly babysit the disk space on the server.
