Episode 3 of Linux Server Admin with Fexingo: Sysadmin, Bash, and Server Engineering. Lucas and Luna dive into a classic sysadmin mistake: letting logs fill up the root partition. Lucas explains how unbounded logging by a single chatty service took down a mid-size e-commerce platform for three hours last year, and why a dedicated log partition with proper rotation is the fix. He walks through partitioning strategies, logrotate configuration, and the monitoring setup that alerts before disaster. Luna asks about trade-offs: smaller root partition risks, journald vs syslog-ng, and whether containers change the calculus. By the end, listeners learn why 'df -h' should be a daily habit and how a few hundred megabytes of planning can prevent a full outage.
