That tells us nothing about the problem. Where is all the space going, which files or directories are increasing, when did this start? Without details it's impossible to give you any answer, please do some investigation of your server and see where the space is going.

As phoenix said you did not give enough information. So please provide the output of the folliowng:

du -sh /opt/zimbra
du -sh /opt/zimbra/logger
du -sh /opt/zimbra/log
du -sh /opt/zimbra/store

df -h

Well clearly the logger folder is the one hogging all the space.
you can clean the logger by deleteing and recreating it..

************************************************** **************

Open Source Edition Backup Procedure - Zimbra :: Wiki
Backup your full zimbra install before running the following steps.

************************************************** **************
log into zimbra server and run all the following in a sequence


su - zimbra
logmysql.server stop
logout
rm -rf /opt/zimbra/logger/db/data/*
chown zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra/db/data
chmod 775 /opt/zimbra/db/data
cd /opt/zimbra/libexec
./zmloggerinit
./zmfixperms --verbose --extended
su - zimbra
zmlogswatchctl start



After this your HDD usage of Zimbra install willl be 6 GB instead of 32 GB

Caveat: you will loose your statistical information though.

Surely the question to ask is why is the logger consuming so much space? http://wiki.zimbra.com/index.php?tit...roubleshooting
