I want to thank you good people for your timely response to my recent problem.  I've had good, practical advice from you all.

It's exactly this kind of thing that makes Bitfolk stand head and shoulders above other hosting operations.  I would not get this level of support from GoDaddy, Amazon, 1&1 or the others.  

I know "just enough" about web site management to get by.  On this occasion I asked for help and received it, straight, to the point, without judgement.  Brilliant!

Ian.

Awesome response Andy!
😀

you could create another partition for /var/logs (or some other
path and then symlink back into /var/logs), and put "aggressive"
size-based log rotation to prevent them spinning out of control.
Oh yeah, the other thing I should have mentioned is that the free
monitoring service:

    https://tools.bitfolk.com/wiki/Monitoring

can easily be made to alert on low disk space conditions, thought
hat particular check does require an agent (snmpd or nrpe) to be
installed and configured on your VM.

So that's a way to get alerts about disk space ahead of time, rather
than find out only when it's all gone and your things start
breaking.

Cheers,
Andy
