I might be a 'little' guilty here....
1.5T    logs
67G    mysql_backups

Adding some crons for cleanup :)

Do you have a good suggestion for rotating the log files written out by 
jsub? Not sure how the grid engine handles things in regards to 
hup/removing files/stale file handlers etc... would rather not have to 
restart the processes as they're very long running bots.
