Bloat in mydata.tgz file

[remus]

Hi all,

I've just noticed that my mydata.tgz file has grown to 260MB, however I have no idea how it got that big.

I only have samba3.tcz, openssh.tcz and nano.tcz installed with some basic work done to the openssh and samba configuration files.

Any idea how mydata.tgz gets bloated ?

Browse it with mc ( Midnight Commander ).

Click Control Panel -> System Stats
Look at bigHomeFiles then decide what to add to /opt/.xfiletool.lst

Another option, open an xterm and type:
filetool.sh -d

-d is for dry run will show the large files and total size

Both of these options should be a part of your file maintenance routine.

Problem found, self inflicted user error 

I had moved my tce folder to a persistent folder and things started to get out of hand in a recursive fashion on each filetool.sh -b command.

Thanks for your comments.
