[Sysadmin] Re: qa2's disk almost full

[Ben Barrett]

The only policy I'm aware of is that anything in ~/transit/ can and 
might be deleted.  Please feel free to cleanup after yourself.... 
however, on a server busy with postings, I often leave the more recent 
files which have come in handy for reference or re-posting from time to 
time, YMMV.  I don't think it is necessary to cleanup after each 
posting, but maybe say, onc a month.  You can use Bill's wonderful tool, 
'perldu', or can list files in reverse order by size or date with 'ls 
-lrS' and 'ls -lrt', unless you have other means... and if you do have 
some other clever method, please let me know  :)

regards,

     Ben
