as do I, but how often do you get to start with no servers at all? I |
| 18 |
think there's this one sysadmin running around setting up servers |
| 19 |
badly, and we all get hired in after him to clean up....i've got one |
| 20 |
db server with a 3-gig root partition and a 5-gig tmp partition, and |
| 21 |
all the programs aren't using the tmp partition, using the /tmp |
| 22 |
directory. and the root filesystem is 90% full. Gaaaaa! |
