Does this mean that the partition _is_ full and thus the database does not run reliably any more? In that case, this might explain your problems getting the jobs started. > It > is rotated everyday.

If you need them or not does, AFAIK, depend upon your needs, for example regarding database backups. (It's usually something you have to decide: do complete database dumps each time you backup the database and delete the logs aftrwards, or backup the logs to do incremental database backups.) They might also be important for database replicateion, for example. Also see http://ww.mysql.com/doc/refman/4.1/en/backup.html for some more details.
