Fedora directory users - Sep 2007 - Directory size (/var/opt/netscape/server7)

Hi All,

A question of curiosity: i''ve set up a small ldap server (no slaves or
multimaster stuff) with about 50 users. I made a backup of the server7
directory (/var/opt/netscape/server7)  before I changed anything and
started hacking away. now, a couple of months later everything is working
very well and i''m asked to migrate the server. I just made a new backup
of
the server7 directory and to my amazement it is 10x as big. It started out
at 139m, and it is now 1.2g!

So the question is: What is taking up so much space when there are only 50
posixAccounts and 2 posixGroups?

For the record, I know this is not the way to backup a rhds server, I''m
reading about how to do a backup or dump "the right way" as we speak
;-)


Grtz,

Rubin.

Rubin,
You may want to check for old error and access logs, as these tend to 
grow pretty quickly.  You can also run du -h to get an idea of what dirs 
are taking up the space.

Indeed, its logs:

[root@foo ~]# du -sk /var/opt/netscape/server7/slapd-foo/logs
996296  /var/opt/netscape/server7/slapd-foo/logs

It keeps about 10 days of logs, each about 100m in size. Thanks for the
pointer (I should''ve looked a little closer ;-).
