We also have a 2nd issue where the ask.o.o server doesn't appear to be large
enough any more to handle the traffic. A few times over the last few weeks we've
had outages due to the HDD being full.

We likely need to reduce the number of days we retain database backups / http
logs or look to attach a volume to increase storage.
