We are running Novell 4.11 and Novell Web Server on a Dell Poweredge 6100/200 
with dual processors and 128MB of RAM.  We have dual 9 Gig hard drives with 
RAID.

The Problem:

We are running our file server, print server and our web server on this 
machine.  Every time we fire up the web server it causes 60MB of disk space to 
disappear from the Sys volume and it has now started giving network broadcast 
messages about low disk space and the network printers all lock up and need to 
be restarted as well.

Aside from allowing more disk space to the sys drive is there any way to stop 
this from happening?  I would at least like to know why the 60 MB is taken up 
on the sys volume, where is it going and why is it temporary?

Please e-mail me with any help you can give.  I have to get our web server up 
soon or my boss will have my head.
