Anyone know what this might be about?

Hello,

We hope you're enjoying your DreamHost account!

We've noticed some content on your account that might run afoul of our Acceptable Use Policy and wanted to draw your attention to it: 321G "ps189917:/home/buff_org/buffistas.org/phoenix/www.buffistas.org/logs" 247G "ps189917:/home/buff_org/buffistas.org/phoenix/buffistas.org/logs"

The storage on our servers is designed specifically for hosting websites and their associated content. It's not well suited to being used as a backup solution or other general-use storage solution. That can include (but is not limited to!) using the web server as method of delivering files not intended for website use.

The bad news is that we have to ask you to delete this content from your server within the next seven days (by the end of February 5, 2018). The good news is that we offer a service, DreamObjects, that's custom-built for storing large amounts of data like backups and other large archives.

You can learn more about DreamObjects here: [link] [link]

As a reference, please see our Acceptable Use and Unlimited storage policies in our terms of service:

Unlimited Policy: [link]

Unfortunately, we cannot allow the data we cited above to continue to live on your current web service. We'd prefer that you move the data off yourself at a time that's convenient for you, but if you take no action we will delete the data above in seven days. Please let us know what you plan to do. Please note, we will try our best to ensure your data is not deleted before the date listed above, and your reply is appreciated.

If you feel that we're wrong about your content (hey, it happens!), please contact us with details so that we can investigate the matter for you and take appropriate action.

We appreciate you hosting with us, so please let us know if you have any questions about this message, our policies, or anything else related to your service. We're always available and happy to help!

Thanks! Elizabeth

We need to delete the logs because they is huge.

They can really grow to ridiculous sizes! (like what happens to my storage unit)

You can use logrotate to keep things under control, but I don't know if that can be set up with dreamhost.

Do we need them? (NB: I don't know what logs are in this context.)

I seriously doubt that we do.

So should anyone do anything about this, or do we just let the files get deleted?

I don't think I have access to Dreamhost.

I can do it, but not until this evening.

We have a week, I just wanted to be sure someone was doing something if anything needed doing.
