What to delete - part 2

[Don Spare]

My /var filesystem continues to fill up. Today I found a stack of files in /var/stm/logs/os that seem to be growing. Each is .5Mb in size and is named like 'log305.raw'. They seem to be created every 1 to 1.5 hours. What is generating these files and how can they be read? Like the filename implies, they seem to be raw binary. Is this something I need to worry about? Should I be concerned for the safety or integrity of my server?

Please help

Hi Don,

All of the files in the /var/stm/logs/os directory can be removed
EXCEPT for the following two files:

logN.raw.cur <---- DO NOT REMOVE THIS FILE

memlog <---- DO NOT REMOVE THIS FILE

However, if the files are removed, then information in old logs will
be lost.

Kind regards,
Robert-Jan

These files are generated by the Support Tools Manager (STM) software. This software looks at your system and verifies the integrety of it. I must admit that it does generate a lot of logs for you. I would definitely look into the software itself and read the logs to see what could be the issue. They can be read using the stm software itself.
