No space left on device
OpenSuse 11.2
Kdevelop is complaining that I have no space left on device. Code:
linux-uitj:/home/anisha # df Also man pages are coming up blank ! Yes this is a dumb question, help ! |
Hi,
Yes / is full so its complaining /usr/bin /bin /sbin all are in / Quote:
/usr/bin/kdevelop |
Clean up is urgent! ;-)
Look in /tmp. You could also have some old stuffs in /var (ex old versions of packages) And for the future, if you can, set an automatic clean up of temporary files at boot. |
Thanks to both of you, my work is halted here :banghead:
I looked up tldp: http://tldp.org/LDP/LGNET/18/tmp.html But I don't have : /var/catman ?? I googled up the following thread and will just see what is there: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-linux-659672/ |
Deleting large folders and files or unnecessary codes(you seem to be developer) will help you.Wish you had LVM it would have saved you now;if you had extra space or drive!

Code:
du -sm /*|sort -n Cheers, Tink |

What I am supposed to delete here ? Is it safe to rm -rf /tmp ? Code:
linux-uitj:/home/anisha # du -sm /*|sort -n |
Don't do a rm -fr /tmp !!! Or you will remove the directory itself!
You should rather do rm -fr /tmp/* if YOU ARE SURE that you can remove everything in it. The best way imho is to have a look in it first: Quote:

I have just deleted an ISO file of LUbuntu and the Trash dir, and man pages have started showing up now !
But Kdevelop is still complaining ! |

Does this make sense to you ? Code:
anisha@linux-uitj:~> su |
and I have no idea what these files are, I don't know what to delete here:
Code:
linux-uitj:/tmp # ll |
Problem solved !
I followed this post: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...2/#post3232993 and when I rebooted the system, I saw: Code:
anisha@linux-uitj:~> df -m |
I just gave a quick look but most of them look like temporary files used by some applications: gpg, evince, yast...
You know better than me what's installed on your system and should be able to know what you can delete or not. (If unsure, backups are never a bad idea before a cleanup ;-) ) |

The problem has reoccured
This time it is OpenSuse 11.2 in my home!
I have followed the post no. 12 solution and rebooted the system, this didn't help :banghead: I deleted the /tmp: Code:
linux-dpjj:/tmp # ls |
