OK. I was hoping it might then and only then start throwing away infreqently accessed files, or whatever is appropriate. > Do you know why/how it gets so big? Can you do anything about it? It's about to get big, because I'm going to use jigdo to suck the first 3 CDs through it :-) > I'm asking because maybe you can put in a crontab entry to periodically > check or report the size of that partition/directory using du or df and > mailing the results to you. Given my current plan, I think it's all going to happen a bit quick for a cron job to be much use. I guess what I really want in this case is to use whatever's there, but somehow get it not to bother caching anything that isn't there already; it's obviously stuff I don't use much. In particular, it would be handy if it _didn't_ throw away all the security stuff simply because it isn't on the CDs. Any suggestions?
