Decrease the size threshold from 100M to 50M.
Answer analysis
Option-by-option breakdown
For each option: why learners choose it and why it is or isn't the right answer here.
- ✓
Decrease the size threshold from 100M to 50M.
Why this is correct
Smaller size triggers rotation sooner, keeping log files smaller and freeing space.
- ✗
Add the 'delaycompress' option to the logrotate config.
Why it's wrong here
Delaycompress does not reduce disk usage; it delays compression.
- ✗
Remove the postrotate script to avoid restarting syslog.
Why it's wrong here
Removing the script would not free space; logs would still accumulate.
- ✗
Increase the rotate count from 4 to 7.
Why it's wrong here
Rotating more files would increase disk usage, not reduce it.
