Perhaps somebody can remove a bunch of the packages that
are installed that we don't use?
The server is very clean in terms of software. The big culprits
for disk usage are MySQL's Innodb transaction data (currently a
single 10Gb file!), and logfiles from MySQL and Apache.
I don't know enough about MySQL to know how to limit that data
and what the impact might be. I do think we could lighten the
load on Apache log files considerably now, to save both disk
space and gain some performance. For instance, we logged user
agents and referrers to get some stats, but I don't think we
really need that anymore.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Putting the Apache logs on another
drive, or turning off the access_logs altogether would probably be quite
helpful; at the cost of statistics (since we don't have a second drive.
Of course, it doesn't really matter since Apache will be on a different
machine soon enough - but we should still get /usr utilization down,
else we're going to fragment the heck out of that partition.
