Then every once in a while you check to see if</div><div>there are files that have actually been accessed and bring them back on if deemed reasonable.</div><div><div><br></div><div>Yes, it's an ungraceful kludge. It might be that one focuses on simply users, as the student files for a course can</div><div>get pretty large. </div><div><br></div><div>One thing to check out is how large the log files are getting to be. It may be that you can rotate them a little more</div><div>often and set a size cap on them. You just have to make sure your willing to tradeoff access for forensics in </div><div>case of a problem with how far back you want log files.</div><div><br></div><div>Just my 2 cents,</div><div><br></div><div>Mark</div><div><br><div><div>On Nov 4, 2010, at 9:47 AM, Eric Harvey/FS/VCU wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>Hello,<br><br>We have a library server that will be replaced soon with new hardware.<br>Until then, we need to come up with a routine to free up some space, we're currently at 90% capacity on our local disk.
