today we have run a little bit short of disc-space on the /home-partition. I searched for files with more than 500MB, hoping to find some old log-files that I could delete before I tell you to clean-up. What I found was upsetting: The biggest log-file I found was 74GB(!) big and several others were also dozen of GB big. I deleted them all (a list can be found at [1]).
Guys, what is so hard to check from time to time a big a logfile is and truncate it? Do I really have to speed-up the re-installation of the quota- system so that you all have 256MB per default and angry mails are send if you use more?
Better, just setup logrotation, if you just rotate each day and keep a week of logs (or maybe more, depending on what it is), it won't grow out of hand.
Did you read https://jira.toolserver.org/browse/MNT-1252? Your reply makes it seem as though you did not. Log rotation isn't needed here; a ban on the use of interwiki.py is what's needed here. Oy vey.
