is getting very close to full. This is very dangerous for the server
and can cause unexpected errors to occur. You either need to move some
files to another storage device and delete them from the Cobalt server
or delete them altogether. Consult the documentation for help adding
storage to your Cobalt server.

I am getting the above email from my server. How can I fix this problem?

Thanks in advance...

Assuming you are on a 4i if a 3, just replace that digit with a 3..

Go to the GUI and click on the maintenence, install software and check the list of installed updatates and make sure you are current.

Do some research before installing the latest OS update however..
