Yes, the /var partition is giving me headaches ... but I believe I know the
culprit. We use OSI PI for data archiving, but one collection group
associated with a heavily loaded CP is always going offline. This results
in monstrous log files, especially /var/adm/utmp* and wtmp*. Until I can
shed some load on the CP, the only thing I've found to do is /dev/null
those files, and restart PI. This has worked well enough in the past, but
lately the /var partition is FULL and even rebooting the 51B after clearing
out these log files doesn't help.
