hard disk space analysis
Dear friends,
I have just installed a RHEL4 on a 10gig partition (/boot=100mb,swap=2gig, /=7.8gig). Problem encountered when i realised the 7.8gig disk space of / was filled up 100%. It was weird that the disk space get filled up so quickly. Anyway, i tried to figure out what has filled up the space quickly. I did a du -sh on all folders under /, yet i only get 3.6GIG total size of under /. Meaning, there should be 4.2GIG of disk space free from use, but it says 7.8 has been 100% filled up, i am just wondering where has that space been filled? since i believe everything should be under /, i have du -sh all the folders under / (such as /etc, /var, /boot) yet only get 3.6GIG total of those folders...
anyone know if there is something else that can take up the space?
thanks for taking time helping.
regards
y
