I would like to delete data in an NFS export based upon either age or upon disk space being used (not wanting to fill the disk).
The plan was to use logrotate.
files date nfs rm logrotate

Can you take some of the "or"'s out of your question? What do you want to do - delete files based on free disk space or age, or some combination? Keep in mind that logrotate rotates files, and has options for removing older rotated files, but its main job is not deleting files based on age or free space.

Why not usingfindto delete files based on age (ie 14 days old)?find /foo -type f -mtime +14 -deleteand/or/or maybe not use the-sizeswitch.

Thank you Jeff and Michael. I was going to go the route of using find but was instructed to use logrotate. I might as well setup the find job in a cronjob.

I was thinking of using the command in logrotate after the postrotate entry. But maybe that wouldn't be a good place.

Why not using
find to delete files based on age (ie 14 days old)? find /foo -type f -mtime +14 -delete and/or/or maybe not use the -size switch.– Michael D.
