Title: enormous file for "firewall" Post by: clevenp on Thursday 04 October 2012, 10:28:43 pm Hello
I am running endian 4.2.1 for the last 24 months without a glitch till last month my log files started to grow (/var/log/squid) and in the /var/log there is a file called firewall that is bigger than 1.2 gig question 1 : that is the reason why the log files started to grow (till the disk was full) question 2 : can I delete any log files (including the file called "firewall" that has no extension) I did not change anything in the configuration and I cannot upgrade to 2.5.1 (various reasons) Philip Van Cleven Title: Re: enormous file for "firewall" Post by: fqureshi on Friday 05 October 2012, 06:22:05 am Yes you can delete the log files. Any of those. I did too. But deleting is not a good idea. There is a command to truncated a file and it will remove all entries from the while. This is safer option gathering deleting the file. However you can delete archived log files.
