ext3 journaling taking up HDD Space ?

[Matthew Benjamin]

/dev/sda1             6.7G  6.6G     0 100% /

This is what my space looks like. This is the / partition. I have 2
other servers running that are much busier, and one is a older ( a dog
as far as I'm concerned) however they are running ext2. They have both
been up and running for 100 days + I rebooted them lately - just for
fun. Neither one of them just ran out of space however. The /home and
the /var drives are partitioned off so that the website, ftp, and home
drives don't mess with the / space.

The journal feature does take up some finite amount of space. But you
haven't reported any space numbers for anyone knowledgable to be able to
tell you if what you are seeing is a feature or a problem.

I did a naive search issue for this in redhat's bugzilla. I don't see
any reported problems about the size of the journal growing unexpectedly
over time.
