    33The log files generated by BOINC's daemons and servers can grow to gigabyte size in a few days or weeks, and will eventually fill up your disk. When this happens your project will grind to a halt. In addition, if you use db_dump to export statistics, directories with names of the form '''html/stats_2006_4_3_15_50_2''' will build up, and you'll need to delete and possibly archive them. Most projects do this manually.

    9 Here's a shell script (from Nicolas Alvarez) that tars and compresses log files (you'll still need to eventually deal with the compressed files). You can run this script as a periodic task in [http://boinc.berkeley.edu/configuration.php config.xml].
