If nobody mentioned it or you had not gotten around to it yet, prod hosts should have something like:
  • A frequent (hourly?) cron checking, on every dev, space and, where applicable, inode use (the fancier FS make more inodes on demand), that sends email at any > 90% or whatever, so you can intercede before a crash or outage.
  • A daily cron job to zip/remove all logs/files for a prior day saves both space, inodes and accidentally damaged or lost files. Since prod support might be looking at the files, you might just nice -19 zip up day-4 (spans long weekends) files starting at early normal work hours (in case it has problems, why lose sleep?). You can zip by file type, application or everything for one day. Of course, sometimes this raises the challenge of how to change logs and other long running files at midnight or at least daily.
  • The backup should remove zip files over a certain age that have been backed up, so space use should be constant/ascending, long term.

NAME
gnome-disk-image-mounter - Attach and mount disk images SYNOPSIS
gnome-disk-image-mounter [--writable] [URI...] DESCRIPTION
gnome-disk-image-mounter can be used to set up disk images. Both regular files and GVfs URIs (such as smb://filer/media/file.iso) can be used in the URI parameter. If no URIs are given and a window server is running, a graphical file chooser will be presented. Note that gnome-disk-image-mounter will not mount filesystems or unlock encrypted volumes in the disk image - this responsibility is left to the automounter in GNOME Shell to ensure that the same interactions happen as if the disk image was a regular physical device or disc. By default the disk images are attached read-only, use the option --writable to change this. RETURN VALUE
gnome-disk-image-mounter returns 0 on success and non-zero on failure. AUTHOR
