Insufficient disk space

Dear friends, please help me.

I have isntall RH9 and configure SAMBA 1 month ago.

Yesterday, we could not access my SAMBA directories and today when I tried to create a new excel file in it, it return an error saying Insufficient disk space.

using:
df -h
Sistema de Arquivo Size Use Disp Use% Montado em
/dev/hda2 9.7G 9.7G 0 100% /
/dev/hda1 99M 14M 80M 15% /boot
none 54M 0 54M 0% /dev/shm

I do not know what is consuming all this space.

Could you help me?
Could you give some commands to find out the file that are consuming this space?
Thanks,

Eduardo

provide the output from these two commands when run as root:

Code:

fdisk -l

Code:

du / -hx --max-depth 1

this shoiuld provide you with enough info to see where the psace has gone. more than likely it'll mainly be in one place, e.g. your /home files, or possibly oversized logs in /var/log.

To print all files over about 50 MB in a particular directory or its subdirectories, in order of size, the following command will work:

Code:

find <directory> -size +10000 -ls | sort -nrk 7

... replacing <directory> with the pathyou want to search. Of course this won't help you if you have lots of little files eating space.

Acid, like you asked:

#fdisk -l

/root/trash is my problem. How I delete it? It is a hide file? How I set a rotine to delete this file everyday?

Thanks all for the help
