Re: No space left on device?

[Aaron Prohaska <verdesoft verdesoft net>]

Can I go ahead and delete all the files in /var/log? will Linux remake
them? Also, about the /tmp directory, can I delete everything in it
safely? I am still having problems with space on / and don't know what a
good solution would be.

Thanks,

Aaron
