Hello,

File sizes (like logs or databases) can dramatically increase.
Do you recommend any standard tools that can find and show the biggest
candidates in a file system that allocate the free space on a drive or
partition faster than you expect?
How do you detect which programs and processes are so "resource hungry"
that the storage limits are easily reached in a short time?

Regards,
Markus
