- For my case, used % of /var was 100%. Especially, /var/log/kern.log was almost 20GB and /var/log/syslog was also large.
- If you type as follows, you can find the log files which are very huge size.
$ ls -lSh /var/log
Solution
$ cd /var/log
$ sudo apt clear
$ sudo apt autoremove --purge
- Set rotate number as 1 (e.g.,rotate 4 --> 1)
$ vi /etc/logrotate.conf
# keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
(before) rotate 4
(after) rotate 1
- Delete old backup and log files such as *.log.3.
- Empty (NOT REMOVE!!!) kern.log and syslog
$ sudo su
$ > kern.log
$ > syslog
$ > (dpkg.log, wtmp, lastlog and so on)
$ exit
