[SOLVED] Disk Space issue

sandeep002gupta · 06-18-2014, 09:05 AM

Hi,
We are facing Disk Space issue in to linux 6.1 server.

Scenario:
Currently the size of /data mount point is 375 GB and this mount point contains only on folder datamind and the size of this folder is 263 GB but the mount point is 100% used.

Please check where this 100 GB is occupied. we can't find it why its showing 100%.

Here I've attached snapshot for your reference.

Have you tried the command for the /data itself than /datamind folder? May be there are files (hidden?) which are in /data (outside of 'datamind').

Yes,

we've check all folder, subfolder under the /data & datamind with hidden file & folder non of uses.

Usually this happens when a process has a log file open which you have deleted, the file is still open in memory by the proc. use lsof, grep the path then sort by file size... That is a good starting point.

Thanks for every one for responding.
This is production server & after reboot the server is refresh & issue now resolved.

I recommend you become familiar with lsof as that may save you having to reboot in future.
