<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Markus,<br><br>Good catch! <br><br></div>I don't really understand why the attachments in the osgeojapan-board/attachments are so huge when the osgeojapan-board.mbox file is only 250MB. I suspect something when crazy in processing for the archives. If I don't hear back from the OSGeo Japan board in a few days, I'll archive the attachments somewhere and clean them off <a href="http://lists.osgeo.org">lists.osgeo.org</a>. I brief poke into them suggested some of it is slide decks. Clearing 30GB of these attachments from the one list will restore the server to only half full.<br>
<br></div><div>Alex, based on that I think we could likely retract the request for server growth.<br></div><div><br></div>Best regards,<br></div>Frank<br><br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

<br>
There are actually huge attachments therein:<br>
29G /var/lib/mailman/archives/private/osgeojapan-board/attachments<br>
<br>
The attachment of the "osgeojapan-board" list is unlimited at time:<br>
<br>
config_list --outputfile - osgeojapan-board | grep size<br>
max_message_size = 0<br>
<br>
Suggestion: restrict the attachment size to 200k in the<br>
"osgeojapan-board" list to avoid that the <a href="http://mail.osgeo.org" target="_blank">mail.osgeo.org</a> server disk<br>
collapses.<br>
