Hi Jeff, what is your logging set to, there is all sorts of logging with
6.x, I am not sure about 6.5, but with 6 if you don't turn much of the
logging off it will fill up the disk exactly as you described.
There is also PBX logging, what logs in particular are growing?
/opt/VRTS*/logs?
/usr/openv/logs?
/usr/openv/netbackup/logs?
/usr/openv/debug/*?
There are many logs in 6.x, which are growing too fast for you?
Justin.
