Hello,
My hard drive is full. Can you tell me how can I clean it.
Hello,
first of all (if the appliance is still accessable) you have to figure out what consumes all the diskspace. To get this information you have to log on to the mobydick via ssh (@ windows with putty(.org) for example) as admin user.
After this please follow this steps:
switch to root user with “sudo su”
switch to /var directory (in most cases there are the disk consuming files) with “cd /var”
gather information which folders consume most diskspace with “df -h --max-depth=1”
go down the sub-directorys with “cd ./subfoldername”
when you have found the issue, make shure it is not needed bevor you delete it:
.log files can be deleted, but just the not currently used ones (will have .log.1 or .log.2.gz and so on)
the currently used logfiles can be cleared with “echo ‘’ > filename” (content is empty afterwards)
for all other files post them here pls if you are not sure if they can be deleted withoud bad impact
possible common scenarios are monitor/voicemail/fax/mail files in /var/spool/
if some databasefiles grow to much it could be possible that you are under attack (wan accessable open sip port) or some other problem accurs, that should be investigated by our support team
If you wanna extend the disk space (for a virtual maschine for example) you have to gather space in the backup partition at least and create a fullbackup. afterwards increase the virtual disk and install the appliance new with the created appliance.iso (you will have to download it first to mount it). If you do so, please make sure the fullbackup finished without errors.
Best Regards,
Steve

Hello,
please always use the -h parameter additionally, for easier reading of the file sizes.
If you don’t need past logs you can run “rm /var/log/.1" and "rm /var/log/.gz”.
