Log hogging

Sun, 12 Sep 2004

I freed nearly 2 gigabytes on my /home partition today, merely by gzipping my procmail log. (It compressed all the way down to 7MB.) It's quite a good thing I did, too, because before I deleted some other stuff I was at 95% of my disk capacity. I would soon have run completely out of space and not have had the least clue why!
