[SOLVED] No space left on device

TobiSGD · 01-10-2011, 11:07 AM

Sorry, but I don't see the point here, maybe I am fatally blind. As I can see on your df output, your root-partition has 10GB.
According to the du output from post #28 this space is completely used by your files. There is nothing wrong with your system. I only ask me why you have a 6GB tarball in your /-directory, and you wonder why you have no space in your root-partition? Move it to your home-partition and you should be fine.

Simple: you delete or move data. You've not told us anything about your system, and have re-opened a thread that has been closed for seven years. After such time, chances are the solutions aren't going to be the same, so opening your own thread for your own question (and providing details) would be good.

When you do so, post the output of "df -kPH", and tell use version/distro of Linux and what desktop environment you're using.
