Data Disk is filling up - 40GB file meminfo

Hi,

on our asg 425 V7.5 we get the info "Data Disk is filling up - please check. Current usage: 75%"

Data Disk is 57 GB.

In /var/storage is a file called "meminfo" with 40 GB. What is this file for? Can I delete this file?

Hello Markus,

I think you have a old call with the astaro support. because this is the old meminfo script. You can delete this file and you must delete the cronjob

crontab -e

regards

Hi Steffen,

I was able to delete the file meminfo. But I don't know how to delete the cronjob.

When entering crontab -e, I will get the following:

* * * * * (date;uptime;ps auxf;cat /proc/slabinfo;netstat -natup) >> /var/storage/meminfo

I think this is diplayed with vi editor.

What do I have to do now?

Hi, if you don't like VI, you can use a different editor... first decide which one: joe (like WordStar) or jed (like emacs).

Then type
export EDITOR=joe
(or jed)

and run crontab -e again

If you use joe, save and exit with Control-k x
jed is Control-x c
vi is much worse [:P]

for vi, just press "dd" (two times a small d) on the line, then the line is deleted.

you then have to type ":wq" wo write (save) and quit

(this means a ":" then a "w" then a "q")
