February 15

 * 16:45 Southparkfan: ran below again
 * 16:38 Southparkfan: (prod9, prod11 - /var/log/mediawiki/) sudo rm -f *1.gz - logrotate is having trouble with these files ending with "1.gz" (for an unknown reason these files are not compressed log files, just empty files)
 * 09:28 Southparkfan: re-installed php5-gd package on prod6
 * 09:06 Southparkfan: restart HHVM on prod9 (it died for an still unknown reason)

February 14

 * 19:09 Southparkfan: (prod8, prod9, prod11) cd /var/log/mediawiki/ && sudo rm -f spam.orain.org*
 * 15:09 Southparkfan: remove unnecessary packages on prod9, cleans up another 300MB.
 * 14:50 Southparkfan: forced a logrotate run on prod9 again (all logs)
 * 14:46 Southparkfan: forced a logrotate run on prod9 (mediawiki logs only)

February 13

 * 14:34 Southparkfan: forced a logrotate run on prod11 too per the same reason as below. It seems it partially failed too, but still freed up ~100MB disk space.
 * 14:14 Southparkfan: forced a logrotate run on prod9 due to a critical amount of disk space left (<150 MB). It seems it partially failed, but it at least freed up something like 400MB disk space or so. Finding out now how to make the run succeed and compress even more log files.
