2nd Problem is in MySQL
Remedy: I have checked the databases and will remove db’s that are no longer in use.
The most common places where space is used on var is /var/log and /var/lib/mysql and /var/spool/exim
Clear up the old logs, mail queue, and any unneeded mysql databases.
If necessary, mysql can be moved to another drive or partition.
