CentOS 5 :: Yum - Insufficient Space In Download Directory
Oct 15, 2010
I'm starting using Centos having a trouble.
I'm trying to execute the command:
Uum Update
Or other yum installation of samething
After a while I obtain always messages saying:
Insufficient space in download directory
So I understood is a problem with space.
I went to my shell and digited the command:
df -h
but it show there is plenty of space.
I also deleted a lot of space to make room, just to be sure, but nothing different happens. I'm attaching a screenshot to this post.
I'm currently running ubuntu 10.10 64bit. My problem started occurring a couple days ago. When I check my disk space using either disk usage analyzer or Gparted it says I have about 69 gigs left. But say I am in a folder on the bottom of the window it will tell me I only have 48 gigs. And just to test I tried going over the amount specified in the folder window and it tells me I have insufficient space.
When I use top to see memory usage, I have 65gb ram but only 1.3gb of it free and remaining is shown as used. When I ran my program It gives memory insufficiency error. Although no other program is using the remaining 63.7gb ram it is hold. How can I get free the unused ram?
I am trying to transfer 3 AVI files of about 650MB each to a video DVD to be used standalone in a DVD player with TV. When I start creating the Video DVD project, I drag my 2GB of files into the project window, Brasero recognizes the blank DVD as having 4GB, but then reports there is insufficient space to burn the selected files and do I want to use multiple discs. Running Ubuntu 10.04, and have accepted all automatic updates as they come out.
i have a portable hdd with ntfs partition, i use it both in ubuntu and in windows. recently it began giving me problems, and now it wont mount. gparted tolled me to run "chkdsk /f" (under windows of course)
chkdsk shows that it fixes some file and on other files it says: "insufficient disk space to recover data" strange thing is the hdd has 150 GB free
I have a system that has very limited disk space on /var and everytime I attempt to do any updates to the system via update manager it was always error saying that there is not enough disk space. I wanted to know how I can change the download directory of the update manager to a partition with more space?
CentOS 5.4 (Final) is installed on my VPS.I'd uploaded a zip file that contains a directory and some files that there are space in their names and now I can't do anything with them.
when i logged in as user,it shows packages are there for update?,when i click yes it shows insufficient rights.But when i logged in as root i can perform software updates.
I'm booting Puppy 5.0.1 from a CD. I want to install OpenOffice so I can view PowerPoint files.My hard drive is 40 gig with 23 gig of free space. While downloading OpenOffice the download stops and gives an error message about "Not enough Linux drive space to complete download"The hard drive is formatted as VFAT and without a CD in the drive will boot Windoze 2000.How do I give Linux (Puppy) more space to use on this hard drive?
I've a plan to make Bittorrent Colocation. It like web hosting, the different is customer are rent space for download bittorrent. Because internet bandwidth in my country is very slow. So it have multi-user on this server What bittorrent client I use?
I still feel as though I should be posting in Beginer Talk but was told that general help could work as well.I am currently using ubuntu jaunty jackalope and completely unfamiliar.I am unable to download updates due to their not being enough free disk space.The sudo apt-get clean and autoclean commands do not free up any space? I have tried tinkering with ubuntu tweak and add remove programs as well but nothing coming.
I have just downloaded Slack- 13.37 using Filezilla..I downloaded from an FTP server the entire directory of Slackware - Current (32 Bits) ..There were some problems encountered:1. When I selected the entire folder in FZ , the Queue size was reported as 4 GB.2. I started downloading and after significant time , still the Queue size was reported as around 3.8 GB..I was perplexed as I have a decent bandwidth and it cannot be. To dispel my doubt , I saw the properties of the Slackware directory in which it was downloading. It showed 1.9 GB.. Is the Q size not dynamic? (Total size - Downloaded size)
3. I was on the edge of my seat as my HDD had only roughly about 4 GB ...So , the Q size was kinda misleading..In a haste , I thought I would remove 2 big installations and wiped off Openoffice as anyway I was planning to go in for libre...I moved some other files to a different partition to ensure additional space4. At the end , early in the morning I woke up and saw it had finished ..But there was a failed transfer of 1 hidden file ..There is still 450 MB left in my partition, dont know why it got omitted.5. Now I want to check the integrity of the download bfor burning to a DVD..Should I use md5 sum? I am not able to determine slackware size by googling...In fact I should have gone in for a pre compiled ISO instead of this directory! But it wasnt available yesterday..6. Is there any good download manager like DAP/ Orbit / Leechget which also gives options like turning off comp after download (useful for overnight installs)...The DW helper in Mozilla is not that good ...I want a utility to split the download into 4/5 channels and speed up the download and most importantly show a graphical menu clearly showing Speed, Size, Time left , etc similar to windows DM
If I use cd command going to a directory which has a space in its name, such as I input cd Program Files to go to dirve_c/Program Files, it will show there isn't the Program Files directory.tell me which command I can use to go to this kind of directory.
I am using fedora 12. I got "no space in root directory" warning from the system. When I went through it, I found many of the space has been occupied by /var/log/httpd/error-log file. So I just deleted the file but when I check the space with "df -h" command. It shows 0% availability. The same problem occurred before but it solved when I restarted the system. But how to regain the space without restarting the system?
I have an external 800GB USB drive I used for storage for both files from Win XP and Suse 9.0.I can read and write my data from Win XP o.k but when I try to write any files from Suse side it gave me 'read only file system' . This drive from Unix is mounted in /media directory with root owner with executable and read only. When I changed to become root and issue chmod 777 'FreeAgent Drive'.I got error chmod: changing permissions of 'FreeAgent Drive':Read only file system.
From unix, reading any file on this drive, using gui application, I can not access the drive at all but I can see all files on the drive using a command with quote (cd /media/'FreeAgent Drive')

i'm using c++ and Ubuntu and I need to write/copy some files to a directory chosen by the user of my system (the user can save it on any folder of any disk of the pc or other usb device). Before I do it, I need to know if there's space available on the disk. I cannot only check the result of write() function, the validation must be executed before I start to save or copy.
I was trying to use statvsf structure, but I only have the complete filepath (/home/lobinho/myDocs/), not the disk path. The statvfs() function only works with disk path (i.e. /media/KINGSTON ).
The source of my function:
Code: int MyClass::availableSpace(string dst, ulong* availableSize) { int result = ERROR; try { struct statvfs devData;
I am trying to install CentOS 5.2, and the installation ran out of disk space after running for about 2 hours.I checked the FAQ, and it said 1.2 GB. The disk is 3 GB. The default install was selected, and I think that it checks for sufficient available disk space before installing. Still, it ran for quite a while before announcing that it was out of disk space.The Installation Guide is not very helpful, since there is a blank page where the disk space requirement is supposed to be. I just picked the default installation. A search of the forums on "not enough disk space" did not return much.
how can I traverse a directory from Kernel space? I'm using the path_lookup function. However, through the inodes I get with this functions I can only access those files that have been displayed at some point by another process (doing ls from the terminal for example)
I have a Dell laptop which originally was strictly a Windows computer; with a LiveCD of PCLinuxOS, I partitioned the drive to make room for dual boot with Linux. Unfortunately, I gave the Root directory too much space, and Home not enough. Is it possible to move anything over to Root to give Home more room? I would get rid of Windows entirely, but for a couple of programs that have no Linux equivalent (at least that I've discovered so far).
I installed Ubuntu for a new server for a while (about one month long), then I logged in for configurations everyday. Today after I logged in system showed
Code: Usage of /: 93.8% of 35.76 GB so I used df -hl for query detail and system showed Code: Filesystem Size Used Avail Used% Mounted on /home/myuser/.Private 36G 34G 501M 99% /home/myuser
What happen with my server, Virus or not? Why that directory is so big? Is there necessary files? Can I resolve and how to do it?
I'm trying to run preupgrade to upgrade to fedora 14 from fedora 12 and get a message saying there is not enough space in /boot/upgrade. I've found some instructions on how to make more room in the boot directory but I get an error near the last step as I have noted below:
Method 1: Free up space First, try to remove any kernel packages not currently in use on your system. The kernel-prune.py script can be used to identify kernels that may be safely removed. If you choose to remove additional kernels, be prepared with installation media should you be unable to return to your previously installed system.
The installer will need approximately 26M of free space in /boot. Use the following command to determine the amount of free space in the /boot partition: df -h /boot To identify kernels that may be safely removed, run the following from a command line: curl -O '[URL]' chmod a+x kernel-prune.py ./kernel-prune.py
Now, to actually remove the kernel versions listed by the above command, run the following as root: # PKGS=`./kernel-prune.py` # echo $PKGS # yum remove $PKGS
Next, adjust the number of reserved filesystem blocks using the command tune2fs. You'll first need to identify the block device for your /boot file system. In the example below, /dev/sda1 is the block device for the /boot filesystem. # mount | grep "/boot" /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)
I get this far and get the following Error: [root@localhost ~]# mount | grep "/boot" /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw) [root@localhost ~]# /dev/sda1 on /boot tupe ext3 (rw) -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [root@localhost ~]# mount | grep "/boot" /dev/sda1 on /boot/type ext3 (rw) -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [root@localhost ~]#
Now, adjust the number of reserved blocks for the /boot filesystem using the command tune2fs. Normally, a small amount of space on ext filesystem formatted partitions is 'reserved' and can only be used by the system administrator; this is to prevent an entirely full partition from rendering a system unbootable, and allow the administrator some space in which to work in order to clean up 'full' partitions. However, neither of this cases really applies to the /boot filesystem, so removing this reserved space is safe. # tune2fs -r 0 /dev/sda1
I learned a little bit about this command (du) to find out how much space a directory takes up but what I want to know is can you tell it to exclude directories?For instance, I wanted to know how large the / directory is on my old suse10 drive but I want to exclude /home (/home was not a separate partition on that drive).
My machine telling me that my home directory is running out space,It is said 95% in usage.Try to delete the big unwanted files in users (just two user in my machine),df ing, but the home usage status keep on 95%.
I am new to Linux, running Fedora 13. If installing from source, how do I specify the directory into which I want to download the file? I have a Download directory set up in my home directory but nothing ever goes there and I spend all my time searching for the files I just downloaded. I obviously have no idea what I am doing.
The download pages don't provide me with a choice, that I can see. I usually end up doing yum install but then I don't really learn anything from the process.
