VPS (debian), samba logs do not clean up after themselves?

Question

Debian

The server ran out of inodes, I decided to find out where they had gone. In general, I did not find anything strange, except for samba.

cat /etc/samba/smb.conf
...
# This tells Samba to use a separate log file for each machine
# that connects
   log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
...

With this config:

/# ls -l /var/log/samba/ | wc -l
18564

Are they needed? still and all in one folder? why so much? Most of the mask log. *. *. *. * - ip and in a row (~ 100 files per day).
How to treat? just delete sometimes? Or turn it off altogether?
As I understand it, samba is used only for "Parallels Power Panel" and goes right into the VPS template, it seems they don't use it anywhere else.
thank.

Answer 1

There are a lot of them - because the configuration says to create a separate log for each machine (%m)
You can specify a specific log file, or replace %m with %S.
So if you are not using samba, disable it and delete the logs.
