Hi Samuel, I'm back from Brazil and catching up on my email... re: > Hmm, I seem to need more information about how to manage file space. > I have trimmed down my 'scour by number' entries in crontab from 6400000 > to 240. This had reduced our storage requirements from 468G to 192G, 192 GB sounds too high for only keeping the last 240 images of each kind. > however over the weekend, it has crept back up to 299G, and I'm afraid it > might over-flow our 468G store in a few days. I would look through the files you are saving to make sure that something else is not eating up your disk space. I would also recheck to make sure that the scouring is being executed out of cron.
