Disk space usage 100% on /
Hi :D
I was today copying much of avi and mpg files from a dvd and another partition to a large fat32 partition mounted on /fat32. There were no error messages displayed whatsoever. Later, I noticed the files that I just copied weren't there on /fat32/. So, I thought "hmm.. maybe I just screwed up the command somehow" and started searching the files. I haven't found them, but, when searching them I noticed the disk usage of / was 100%. ...what? :scratch: I have examined all the directories using the "du" command and haven't found any exceptionally large directories. I can't write on the partition because it's "full". I just searched this forum and found one thread about an ext3 bug that could cause something like this.. :confused: See for yourself(df -h): (the language is finnish :D ) Tiedostojärjestelmä Koko Käyt Vapaa Käy% Liitospiste /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part1 20G 19G 0 100% / /dev/ide/host2/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 149G 16K 149G 1% /fat32 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part7 35G 4,2G 31G 13% /home /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/part1 9,8G 32K 9,8G 1% /mnt/fat32 /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part1 20G 4,3G 16G 22% /mnt/win_c /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 55G 23G 33G 41% /mnt/win_d /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target1/lun0/part6 20G 9,5G 8,9G 52% /usr /dev/ide/host2/bus1/target0/lun0/part5 174G 64G 102G 39% /wd /dev/ide/host0/bus1/target1/lun0/cd 4,3G 4,3G 0 100% /mnt/cdrom2 |
try ckfs to see if you have some lost+found problems or inode errors. I can't help with ext3, i'm using rieserfs on mine. But maybe ckfs will help

try this command: 'du -h / --max-depth=1' ... it should give you easy overwiev of what is hogging this space.

As you can see, there's no exceptionally big directories:
27G /mnt (windows partitions mounted here) 9,4G /usr (has own partition) 4,1G /home (has own partition) 0 /dev 19M /etc 1,4M /tmp 193M /var 523M /root 897M /proc 31M /boot 9,6M /sbin 361M /lib 5,6M /bin 8,0K /initrd 88K /opt 0 /sys 520K /udev 4,0K /media 4,0K /srv 64G /wd (has own partition) 4,0K /lost+found 16K /fat32 (has own partition) 106G / |
well looks like somethign in the root directory itself. iso images??

try
Code:
du -kx |egrep -v "\~./.+/" |sort -n Veteq |
106G in the / looks like there is a huge file in there, ls -lA show anything... grr, what is the sort command....
