Thanks Matthew

    as u say when the message has consumed the messages on disk will be
del,but i'm not sure that the message will be consumer in time,so i need to
keep have enough free disk ,i mount other partition to the rabbitmq folder
,it's success,but  the rabbitmq-server can not start,  is there anythings i
should do?
