As Raymond Toy already pointed out earlier, we had lots of huge logs of Trac laying around in our file systems. Today, I set up logrotation for trac.log in all projects. The total size of the files was instantly reduced from >800MB to < 44MB!
It doesn't seem useful to me to retain the logs longer than 4 months, so I set up weekly rotation with 17 weeks of history.
Bye,
Erik.

Thanks for putting the log rotation in place. I think my projects were the worst offenders, but I deleted most of the huge logs before you implemented the rotation and compression. Can't remember exactly how much, but df went from something like 65% usage to 62% after I deleted them. :-)
