Hard disk space exhausted

Hi Tasos,

first of all: happy new year to you!

During my x-mas vacation, unfortunately a scheduled job ran until disk space got exhausted. Is there a way to get rid of the old scans/scan data?
Currently, arachni tells me that "We're sorry, but something went wrong." when logging in.

Cheers
Thomas

   Hey Thomas,

   Happy new year to you as well.

   This is a strange one, so I've got a few questions:

   1. How much disk space does the machine have?
      
   2. Was the scheduled scan a recurring one?
      
   3. What does ls -lah /tmp/ say?
      
   4. What does ls -lah system/arachni-ui-web/db/ say?

   Cheers

   Hi Tasos,

   sorry for keeping you waiting, but I spent some days sick in bed and meanwhile a pile of work grew on my desk o.O

   To answer your questions:
   1. The particular volume has 2.8 GB
   2. Yes, it was a recurring one
   3. ls -lah /tmp
   

   drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4,0K Okt 31 11:16 .ICE-unix
   drwx------  2 root root 4,0K Okt 31 11:16 vmware-root
   drwxrwxrwt  2 root root 4,0K Okt 31 11:16 .X11-unix
   

   4. ls -lah system/arachni-ui-web/db/
   

   drwxrwxr-x  2 root root 4,0K Nov 27 16:19 migrate
   -rw-r--r--  1 root root  21M Dez 13 10:52 production.sqlite3
   -rw-r--r--  1 root root 2,9M Nov 27 16:19 production.sqlite3.bak
   -rw-rw-r--  1 root root 8,1K Nov 23 18:49 schema.rb
   -rw-rw-r--  1 root root 2,7K Nov 23 18:49 seeds.rb
   

   production.log grew up to a size of 1.5 GB:
   ls -lah system/logs/webui

   -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 1,5G Jan  7 14:46 production.log
   

   Cheers,
   Thomas

   No problem man, glad you're feeling better.

   As you've already realized, it's the production.log file that's causing the issue. Delete it and you should be fine but keep an eye out for it because eventually it'll grow in size yet again.

   Cheers

   Thanks!

   Yes! Truncating production.log did the trick! Thanks man!

   Cheers and have a great day!
