I've recently been struggling with disk space on one of my servers.

"df" is showing all my disk space is gone but "du" is not finding any files that would amount to filling up the disk.

Finally,, "lsof" reveals it is log files that has been rotated in a docker container but still are open (but marked deleted) 🤦‍♂️

I could restart the docker containers at a regular interval to release the deleted files...

But is there a better way to handle this?

#linux #docker #logrotation #diskusage

I am torn what to do about log rotation on a server I am trying to convert to Guix right now. log-rotation-service-type is too inflexible, and rottlog-service-type will be removed soon.

I guess I will just copy rottlog-service-type to my own channel, so that it survives the upstream removal. It will be bit annoying to diverge from Guix proper in this aspect, but do not really see other options here.

#guix #rottlog #logrotate #logrotation

I never bothered properly setting up #logging, until now that I need to check if #fstrim is run regularly and properly.

I also had to set up #logRotation using #cron (#dcron), and I also set up #anacron (for trimming the boot partition from time to time).

#sysAdmin #linux #ssd
