If this is a regular occurence, a bugreport might be called for. Beware: /var is used for all sorts of "variable" data, e.g.: - mailboxes - printer spool - lock files - dhcp state - log files - databases - autogenerated config files for e.g. exim4 (for split config) and lots of other things that hardly qualify as "garbage". If you want to free up some space, files in /var/tmp, /var/log and /var/cache are usually good first candidates. > > # df -h > Sist. Arq.
