I need to install Fedora on 4GB SDHC card, so the space is limited.My question is what files (documents, manuals, temporary files, logs, unused packages etc) I can remove, without harming the system?So far I cleaned /tmp, /var/log, trash what else?
View 8 RepliesI'm running into a problem where my system is running out of disk space on the root partition, but I can't figure out where the runaway usage is. I've had a stable system for a couple of years now, and it just ran out of space. I cleaned some files up to get the system workable again, but can't find the big usage area, and I'm getting conflicting results.For example, when I do a df it says I'm using 44GB out of 58 GB:
Code:
[root@Zion ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
[code]....
when we use the df command it list the disk usage list for all mounted files ..
#df -h
/dev/sda4 47G 34G 11G 78% /
varrun 1009M 120K 1009M 1% /var/run
[code]....
I was trying to get the status of memory usage and disk usage using sigar in windows and ubuntu. done this in windows by just copying the sigar library into jdk library. But i was unable to do so in ubuntu. I've copied the library to java-6-sun library but still can't run the program.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI run Fedora FC13-x64. Recently I added a few TB's of RAID5 storage tto my server and moved most data from the root filesystem to that. Now my root volume is way too big. My basic install resulted in a 1TB LVM volume group entirely dedicated to a single lv_root.
Now I want to make room and eventually clone this disk to a much smaller root disk. I see many threads about reducing the size of an LVM logical volume. My first steps were succesful. I used lvreduce and resize2fs to reduce the size of the logical volume and filesystem. I also user pvreduce to reduce the size of the physical volume group.
But still gparted and fdisk report the physicalk volume (/dev/sde2) as 900GB. The embedded LVM stuff is as small as 60GB. Anyway LVM manager and GParted doe not allow me to shrink /dev/sdf2 to snuggly fit the LVM stuff in it.
Is there any way to monitor one process' CPU usage and RAM usage over time on Linux? I am trying to change to a cheaper VPS and need to work out what level of CPU and RAM I need!
View 2 Replies View RelatedSome thing is using up a huge amount of my disk space about 10G and I can not determine what it is. When I look at my disk usage in system monitor it say I have used about 25G and when I scan the directory in disk usage analyzer the entire file system used is 15G.
View 1 Replies View RelatedMy system decided to crash on me, hard. It was humming along happily for about 2 months and now doesn't boot. If I boot from hard-disk, I get grub. Launching the first kernel choice hangs. I thought maybe the install was corrupt, so I booted from usb install disk. The usb hdd didn't boot; something about an error trying to access /dev/sda . Unplugging the internal disk and plugging in the usb install disk does result in the system booting. Plugging in the internal disk in a running system usb-booted system does not result in the system detecting the disk.
How do I know if the disk is physically broken? This seems unlikely since it does manage to launch grub consistently. Or is this still possible? How can I try to mount whatever is left? The usb install disk doesn't even list the /dev/sd*. Any pointers on how to reformat the drive if it's not being mounted?
My server is keep on hanging So I have rebooted several times in the last couple of weeks, the system is eating more memory and the usage is keep on increasing and at particular time it became saturated and my server hungs. I could not find which process is eating more memory. I have used the below commands to check if any process is eating more memory but no luck. No such process are using high memory.
1) Top
2) ps -eo pcpu,pmem,user,args

I'm having issues trying to use dvd shrink with wine, the problem is everytime I click on the dvd shrink icon nothing happens it doesn't start I think have something to do with security settings, anyone having the same problem?

GParted, and the Win7 partition editor before installing won't let me shrink it. Parted Magic was no help, wouldn't even work.

View 5 Replies View RelatedJust installed Fedora 13. And just as i finished installing, recovering backup and configuring everything. I realized that i forgot to make an extra partition (for experimenting with other distros).
During the Fedora installation i chose to include all three hard drives in the file system. So now sda, sdb and sdc are all included in the lvm group.
Found this thread in the forum: [URL]
Can i follow these steps to shrink the partition on sdc without damaging my current fedora installation? Can i run the commands straight from the shell, or do i need to boot up from a livecd?
I'm trying to use GParted from a liveusb to resize my ext4 Ubuntu partition, but it's been stuck on the "shrink file system...resize2fs" for two days straight. The progress bar is still going back and forth, and top shows a lot of CPU activity, but it won't move past this point. I know it's a bad idea to stop GParted while it's resizing, what I can do, maybe a way to check to see if it's actually busy resizing the partition?

I am trying to get my head around my new server. I am using CENTOS 5.4 x86_64 with 300GB harddrive.
The 300 GB been partitioned with the following:
Device Size Used Available Percent Used Mount Point
/dev/md0 99M 18M 77M 19% /boot
/dev/md1 16G 8.7G 5.8G 61% /
/dev/md2 246G 40G 194G 18% /home
/dev/md3 4.8G 1.6G 3.0G 35% /var
/usr/tmpDSK 3.9G 432M 3.3G 12% /tmp
I have increased teh tmpDSK as it was getting full very quickly. My question is, what are these md0; md1, md2 and md3 are they harddrive partitions and as md1 is getting full will that have an impact on my sites.
how to check which process consuming a lot of HDD I/O ? Do You know any good command which can show me which process saving something big on the storage system ? "iostat" or maybe "ps" ? Would be great if somebody could past me here nice command.

You see that on 'df' i have 67 GB on the disk and 2.6GB avaiable, but du is confirming only 33GB of usage. What uses the other 34GB ? I can't install fancy graphical disk usage programs there, is there any way I can find what is consuming the 34GB of disk using command line tools and standard linux programs? (like debugfs or something like that)
The Disk Usage Analuser application in GNOME (baobab) only displays directories, not files. I think this is a huge deficiency that greatly reduces it's usefulness. Can anyone recommend an application (preferably GNOME/GTK) that's capable of providing a graphical break down of disk usage for the contents of a user's home directory with both directories and files sorted by the amount of space they take up? Like ncdu but with a GUI.
View 6 Replies View RelatedCurrently I have a four partition setup: One ext4 /boot partition for Fedora, one LVM partition, one ext4 partition (which has Ubuntu), and one swap partition. What I would like to do is shrink down the ext4 partition which has Ubuntu on it and increase the size of my LVM parition (and increase the Volume Group, filesystem, etc. within the LVM). However, I've been searching on Google and the only solutions I find is to make the free/unpartitioned space and then create a new LVM partition and stretch the VG over the two LVM partitions. However, I already have 4 partitions, so I can't make the fifth one.
Is there any possible way I can increase the size of the underlying LVM partition itself?
I have two pc's that I've recently converted to Lenny boxes, and I've noticed that whenever there's a lot of disk IO, one of my cores (both pc's have dual core cpu's) jump to 100%. Is this normal? They're both amd64, and I think both of them should be using the AHCI SATA driver.
If you need any more information about my setup, let me know.
