Out of Memory /usr/local
Ive just run out of memory on the /usr/local folder of my redhat linux install, /usr indicates there are 4.5 Gigs free but the usr/local folder only contains 80.8 megs so I am at a loss as to why usr/local also indicates there is 0 space available. I determined the space available by checking the properties of each folder. Can anyone point me in the right direction to understand how this is possible and how to reclaim the space I imagine exists but is inaccessible for some reason
Thanks. |
The first thing that I would do is run fsck against the /usr partition to check the file system for errors.

What does the output from the command ' df ' show?

re : out of memory on /usr/local
the df command result is
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 1027800 812808 162784 84% / /dev/sda1 101089 9335 86535 10% /boot /dev/sda2 2063536 33300 1925412 2% /home none 256764 0 256764 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb2 10325780 5057096 4744164 52% /usr /dev/sdb3 4087584 4081968 0 100% /usr/local /dev/sdb1 2055600 383228 1567952 20% /var so again system seams to be indicating there is no space available but the properties of the local folder indicates only 80 megs are used.....????? ...not sure if i continued this thread correctly by "replying" to my post.. |
well, /usr/local certainly is full. did you run the fsck?
|
I tried running that fsck command but got the following so aborted
[root@tdspace root]# fsck fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) e2fsck 1.32 (09-Nov-2002) /dev/sda3 is mounted. WARNING!!! Running e2fsck on a mounted filesystem may cause SEVERE filesystem damage. Do you really want to continue (y/n)? |

I was attempting to setup a backup which was writting to the usr/local folder before this happened I did run the backup a few times but expected it to simply overwrite the contents of the backup folder. I had since deleted the backup folder which of cours has not helped...

Lets have a better look at df output. Use the command ' df -h ' Post the output.
Next post output of ' /sbin/fdisk -l ' needs to be run as root. Brian |
Exactly how did you determine the space by checking the subdirectories ? Could you post the output of
cd /usr/local du -sk * |
results of df -h and /sbin/fdisk -l
Ok I ran df -h these are the results:
[root@tdspace root]# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda3 1004M 796M 158M 84% / /dev/sda1 99M 9.2M 85M 10% /boot /dev/sda2 2.0G 33M 1.9G 2% /home none 251M 0 251M 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb2 9.9G 4.9G 4.6G 52% /usr /dev/sdb1 2.0G 368M 1.6G 20% /var /dev/cdrom 140M 140M 0 100% /mnt/cdrom /dev/sdb3 3.9G 3.9G 0 100% /usr/local next I ran /sbin/fdisk -l results are: [root@tdspace root]# /sbin/fdisk -l Disk /dev/sda: 9105 MB, 9105050112 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 1106 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sda1 * 1 13 104391 83 Linux /dev/sda2 274 534 2096482+ 83 Linux /dev/sda3 535 664 1044225 83 Linux /dev/sda4 665 1106 3550365 5 Extended /dev/sda5 665 794 1044193+ 82 Linux swap Disk /dev/sdb: 18.2 GB, 18210048512 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 2213 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdb1 * 1 260 2088418+ 83 Linux /dev/sdb2 261 1566 10490445 83 Linux /dev/sdb3 1697 2213 4152802+ 83 Linux |

well, looks like your PostgreSQL install has gone haywire.

umount /usr/local and then run fsck
