1 I don't understand how to use logrotate, but I'm pretty sure cron runs
2 it. /var/lib/mysql was using 21G, so I think I can go in there (or at
3 least into the mysql client) and delete the databases that I myself have
4 created and am no longer using. If I understood the command you
5 recommended it mounts / on /mnt/tmp and then du's it. That's still
6 running, but isn't that the entire system?
