It seemed a reasonably good idea to split project.www into two separate,
individually smaller volumes. I checked the partition usages, and decided
rosebud2.b was looking like a good place to put 100 megs of server log
files. The new volume is www.www-logs.nb, with quota 100000 KB, and is
mounted as /afs/sipb/project/www/www-logs . (If I managed to fail to figure
out the canonically correct name for this volume, please let me know.)
I lowered the quota on project.www from 195000 KB to 100000 KB. I may lower
this further as certain old log files are deleted.
<sipb-afsreq folks need read no further>
I don't think this volume ought to have a backup copy, for two reasons:
(1) It's just web-server access-logs, which are somewhat valuable, but by no
means essential.
(2) It's a volume that's likely to occasionally experience near-total
replacement of its data, when old logs are nuked to make space for new
ones fresh from the web server. This means, if this volume were backed
up, it and its backup volume could take up twice the space they were
supposed to. And, at 100 MB x 2, that's a fair bit.
I moved ~www/cruft/logs and ~www/wandex to ~www/www-logs, putting a symlink
from ~www/wandex to ~www/www-logs/wandex ...
If I notice *any* fresh log files in project.www (rather than
www.www-logs.nb), I will probably rm them at sight. You have been warned. If
you need more space for log files, get the quota on www-logs increased.
