Re: Hibernate filled my /root



30 GB of logs, wow. Do you use logrotate?

Using Gparted I found /root was full
resized /root to 50 GB
boots properly now

/var/log now contains 29.3 GB
/var/log/syslog 10.0 GB
/var/log/kern.log 10.0 GB
/var/log/syslog.1 4.1 GB
/var/log/kern.log.1 4.0 GB

    I have no clue why this happened
    how do I clean this up and prevent it from happening again?

    PS: I rarely use Hibernate ... can't remember when I used it last,
if ever
