Re: vCenter Server Appliance (SLES) out of disk space, service cannot start

Well deleting the faillog file hasn't cleared much space. But I tarred two log files that weren't compressed on the last rotate, messages and warn, 2.8GB each, to a bz2 that freed up 5GB.

I still need to get the /storage/db partition down though as it's only showing 2.8MB available.

I'm finding /var/log/ldapmessages filling up with this every 20-30 seconds:

If there's some sort of auth problem then that might explain the massive faillog... even though the faillog didn't appear to be that big after all as it didn't release the space.

Anyone got any idea what's going on here as this is driving me insane.
