Debian :: Root Partition Full But It Is Not?

May 18, 2015

Got problems with apt. So I discovered if I remove some stuff from root partition apt works normally again.

So I tested to copy 1GB file to root, but in the middle says disk is full, but there should be 1.8GB free if I type df -h.

Code:
Select alldf -h
Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs          4.0G  2.2G  1.8G  56% /
tmpfs            10M  4.0K   10M   1% /dev
/dev/md0        4.0G  2.2G  1.8G  56% /
tmpfs           492M     0  492M   0% /dev/shm

[Code] ...

Debian :: Root Partition Full Already Resize?

May 18, 2010

I recently installed Lenny and used the "Guided - Use Entire Disk" option.I made separate partitions for root, /etc, /var, /home, /usr and swap.I trusted that the auto partitioner would choose sensible sizes but possibly that was a bad move, root is only 340Mb and is full.

Ubuntu :: Root Partition Almost FULL

Mar 2, 2010

I few months ago I was forced to do a fresh clean install of Karmic becasue my root partition (then 80 GB) was full. I shooulkd have used a LiveCD to resize partitions then but I didn't so when I installed Karmic this time I ended up with a 160GB partition for /.Color me surprised when last night I got a message that / was at less than 5% free space.
1. I routinely do a apt clean so the cache is not an issue.
2. I do not store backups on /. I use rsnapshot to same backup on an external hard drive.
3. I use Virtualbox but all my hard drives (VDI) are on /home.

General :: Can't Log In / Root Partition Full

Jun 15, 2011

I am having trouble logging into my ubuntu 11.04 desktop. When I type my username and password to login my screen goes blue, as if it is going to next show my desktop wallpaper, but then it loops back to the login screen. I had no idea why and so I went to ALT-F1 and typed in "df" and it turns out that my root partition is full. This is strange since I set aside 40GB for it and I didn't install anything or that many programs that would fill it up. Anyhow, is this fixable by booting to a live cd and using gparted to make root bigger or is there a better way to fix this?

Debian Configuration :: Root Drive Full

Jan 27, 2016

I think my root drive is 100% full causing strange problems with my video server. What steps can I use to see what's taking up the room on the drive and perhaps identify files that can safely be deleted?

OpenSUSE Install :: Delete "vmkd" Files - Root Partition Full - Why

Feb 1, 2010

I had been copying "vmkd" files all of which are very large (11gig) each and later deleted them and it appears some I had deleted using "root" I reached a point when it couldn't do it and it said it couldn't because trash bin was full. Sure enough I found my root partition (20gigs) was full. I went root and emptied its trash bin which freed up about (4gigs) of space. I just set up a new system (11.2) on another drive and have setup it up with exactly the same programs as the system I'm having a problem with and the new systems root partition only has (6gigs) in the root partition. Question; how do I clean out my problem root partition?

Debian :: Root Partition Filling Up

Dec 22, 2015

I'm booting to Kali 2.0 live from USB and wanted to add persistence, but I can't get OpenVAS setup. The setup script runs and eventually fails due to no more disk space. Here's my df -h output:

Here's gparted:

When the setup runs it fills up root (/) which is only 872mb. This is a 16gb USB so I'm wondering if there's a way to allocate some of the 11gb of unallocated space to root? I couldn't tell how to do this with gparted, would I need to build a custom Kali iso or something with different partitioning?

Ubuntu :: Used Gnome Partition Editor To Format As A Single Primary Partition Of The Full 500 Gb Drive?

Jan 18, 2010

So I tried adding a new, 2nd hard drive to my Ubuntu 9.04 desktop for some additional storage and only managed to kill my system so that it won't boot up anymore (I just get a blinking cursor after the BIOS does its thing).I could sure use a little help getting back to a functioning system, and then adding the second drive. I tried following the instructions from this link to add the 2nd drive:

Debian :: Mounting Other Partition And Editing As Root?

Jan 22, 2011

I have Linux Mint (LMDE) on another partition and I guess I need to do some 'fixing' so I need to mount the partition. I can't, though, not by just clicking the partition (obviously?). I assume this is because I need root access to mount it.

how I can do this?:

1) CLI - mount via CLI by mounting at some point - for e.g., mine is /dev/sda3 so mount as ?

2) Use an 'editor' or file manager - such as Dolphin - how would I do this?

3) Use a Live CD/DVD - I think this way is unnecessary but it's a way, right?

Anything I missed? I guess gparted could mount it?

Which method would you use?

I think one could ssh into it but I'm not able to do that yet.

I need to exit the xorg.conf file which is recently really messed up.

Debian :: Jessie-grub On Root Partition

Feb 7, 2016

i use a 3rd party boot mgr.i installed jessie over etch on my old computer & only choice i saw for grub was sda & sdb where i wanted to install on sdb9.i tried installing it from my wheezy partition & it did but i ended up with 2 boots to wheezy.so i went back to etch.

my question is how to get grub on sdb9 like it was on etch.is there a trick or did i miss a prompt? on another note, that bug where the format hangs if you try & install over an old system is a little irritating. can't believe it hasn't been fixed.

General :: RAID At Root Partition In Debian ?

Feb 11, 2010

The RAID level 1 interested me because of its redundancy in both drives. And I successfully made it in a couple of partitions. But, I always did it after Linux installation. Then, I create both partitions, use 'mdadm' to create raidtab and RAID device (md0, for example) and then I format the RAID device with 'mkfs' and mount it.

Until there, it's all OK.

But my problem is to mirror ALL the hard disk, inclusive root partition. To do that, I guess I need no Linux installation, then create the RAID (md0, raidtab, etc) and after that install Linux in RAID device created.

But I'm new in Linux world and I have no idea how to do that.

I use Debian Lenny, so I need a solution that uses only the first DVD of this distribution.

Debian Configuration :: Resizing Partitions - Put To The Root Partition

Jan 23, 2016

Is there a way where I can take like 50GB from my home folder (I have 375 avail., but using only 22GB) and put it to the root partition? Twice now my system has almost ran out of space on root, so luckly I was able to clear out old stuff so I don't have login issues after finding the hardway the first round lol. I just want to make sure I can login with out being forced back out because root don't have space to let me login.

Debian Configuration :: Mount Options Of Root Partition

Apr 28, 2016

I made a mistake in Gnome Disk utility tool. Instead of changing the options for a USB key, I changed the options of the root partition.

In Initial state, automatic options were desactivated. I just activated them. And after desactivacting them, I realized my mistake and switched back to "non automatic options".

By doing this, I suppose that defaults values were used since now, the system starts in command line mode and no more in graphic interface mode.

When I try the "startx" command, I get a "read-only" error.

With the command "sudo mount -o rw,remount /" the graphic interface is started.

Below is the configuration of the partition under the gnome disk utility tool :

"Mount at startup" is checked
"Show in user inteface" and "Require additional authorization to mount" are unchecked

Mount options : nosuid,nodev,nofail,x-gvfs-show
Mount point : /mnt/eb11d4d6-75db-XXXx-XXXx
Identify as : /dev/disk/by-uuid/eb11d4d6-75db-XXXx-XXXx
Filesystem type : auto

I do not want to change anything that could leat to a critical error. So what do you think I should do ?

Debian :: Partition Layout - Primary Or Extended For Root Parition?

For a fresh installation using manual partitioning, one single disk (IDE).

If I selected:

For the root partition, I would like to use ext4, 10GB, but by default, the partition type 'extended' is suggested. Would there be any difference (advantages, inconveniences) if I selected the primary partition instead?

Debian Configuration :: Copying / Moving Root Filesystem To Another Partition?

Mar 4, 2010

My root filesystems flooded so I'm trying to move it to another (bigger) partition but I'm not sure of the best method. I just tried to use "dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sda6" to copy it but all that did was give me a brand new partition with no freespace available presumably because the filesystem is smaller than the partition. Is it possible to make the filesystem bigger?

Debian Installation :: Keep Home And Var Partitions Intact And Just Reinstall Everything In Root (/) Partition

Apr 4, 2010

Ok. I have a media server running debian amd64. when I installed it I made separate partitions for root (/) home (/home) var (/var) and swap.

I'm adding some new hardware (mobo and ram) and want to reinstall debian. I would like to keep my home and var partitions intact and just reinstall everything in root (/) partition.

I'm unsure of how to do this during the installation. Do i need to format? how do I tell it to use the /var and /home partitions?

Fedora :: Filesystem Root 100 Percent Full

Jun 25, 2010

I'm new to fedora 13 and I have been through a few installs already with a 12TB raid. Fedora is installed on a separate 250GB drive. I've mounted the 12TB drive as a single share and I'm capturing large video files (12-90GB each) to the raid in a Samba Share across the network. The system runs great for about three days and then I start getting warning messages that "the volume filesystem root has only 1.9GB of disk space remaining" then another later 205MB etc until it eventually fills to 100% and then locks the machine. If I reboot I get a Gnome error and can't login. The only solution has been to reinstall fedora again from scratch.

Each time I allocate more space for root. My current partition is 65G in size. The raid shows only 5.1TB of space used and it shows 7.2TB of free space. The raid share shows as being mounted in /media. Root shows that it will be full at 5.2TB, and I'm almost there, so I'm probably looking at another install in just a short while when it freezes again. I've read reinstall and make a larger root partition, but I'm not sure how big that must be to avoid this problem in the future. Also, is there a limitation on the size that root can be? my question stems from the fact that I have over 7TB of free space but somehow the root is reporting as 100% full at only to 5.1TB.

SUSE / Novell :: Changing /tmp From It's Own Partition Back To Root Partition?

Jun 8, 2010

I initially installed SuSe11.2 with /tmp mounted on separate partition on another physical disk( there are two physical disks). Now I want to attach disk with existing SuSe11.2 to another motherboard so I would like that /tmp becomes part of the root partition. Will deleting /tmp mount point in /etc/fstab create automatically new /tmp from root at next startup, or something else has to be done to achieve, that in future, /tmp resides on root partition instead? In this way it would be much easier to move the disk with SuSe11.2 to another motherboard.

Ubuntu :: Boot Partition Is Full?

Feb 8, 2010

I have a total of four partitions on my Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic) system:

sda1 = /boot
sda2 = /
sda3 = swap
sda4 = /home

My boot partition is 94 MiB which I was recommended would be more than enough space. Turns out my /boot partition is full and I now get a message every time I log into Ubuntu saying, 'The volume "boot" has only 0 bytes disk space remaining.' Also after installing GParted to check up on my partitions I got the following error in apt-get:

Code:
Setting up gparted (0.4.5-2ubuntu1) ...
Setting up kpartx (0.4.8-14ubuntu2) ...
Processing triggers for libc-bin ...
ldconfig deferred processing now taking place
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...

[Code]....

I have no experience messing around in my /boot partition besides modifying GRUB. I think most likely I just have too many kernel versions installed in the /boot partition?
