Today I was installing a lot of software since I'm just setting up my Slackware system again after a fresh install, and I realized that my root partition has very little space left.
Here is the output of df -h:
Code:
As you can see, I have a 20G (19G here for some reason) root partition, 8G /var, and 86G of /home. I thought this would be plenty since many recent recommendations for / are 10-15G. Now, though, 17G are used up for some reason! How is this possible? I thought a full slackware install only had about 4G of software! I don't have any music or movies or any crazy huge files that I know of, and those would be in my /home directory anyway. Is there any way I can see which files are taking up all this space?
If it's necessary to allocate more space to my / partition, is it still possible to boot up a GParted live Cd, shrink /home a bit, move some partitions to the right, and expand my root partition? I would REALLY prefer I don't have to reinstall since I just spent a ton of time setting up my system again, but if worst comes to worst ... :'-(
In case you're curious, here's my /etc/fstab:
Code:
You would think it would be easy to do this (and essential to maximizing and predicting the usage of tapes), but apparently this isn't so. The program MT(1) actually had some commands that give the block positition (if supported by the drive) from which the remaining space could be deduced (even if you couldn't predict exactly how much space the next archive would take up). However I'm using MT(1L) which no longer has such commands.

Minicom was running fine two days ago capturing data from a gage device via a serial cable. Yesterday, users of the data started complaining that they were not receiving any data.

I am developing a I2C CDROM client driver. The CDROM firmware supports TOC information read through a I2C command. It sends the TOC information in burst ( Interrupts a GPIO pin when it is ready ) and my CPU does a I2C read to read the TOC. When the CDROM firmware finishes sending the last data burst , it informs my CPU that it is done with the TOC, by a flag in the last data burst. I would like to know, which is the most efficinet way I can send these TOC information to userspace?

This happened earlier when df -h showed ~900M of free space. Just now, I'm showing ~2.2G of free space. Anyone have ideas what could be causing this?
I have a rel 5.6 system that we just added more memory to.
1. What is the correct or best way to increase swap?
2. Can I remove the swap space later on?
3. How do you remove it when done?
Our rootvg only has 8G available to it and I want to be sure if i allocate anything out to it I can reclaim when done without having to rebuild the system.
We have to do a lot of data moves so we allocated extra memory to this VM system and now we need to increase swap. I did see several articles in google but they describe using a new swap partition, a swap file and increasing an existing swap space. I am still not sure what is the best way to go knowing this is a temp situation.

Seems very doubtful that inodes are the killer.I have googled and followed all the threads, and search these forums and found nothing that fits - every answer there was focused on avaiolable space and inodes..And to make the cheese even more binding, the issue has cropped up on another 8.3 system with far more disk space (larger hard drives) and lots more unused inodes

I recently upgraded from Lucid to Maverick, which went fairly smooth. Then I upped my RAM with some new memory sticks (4Gb to 8Gb). Since about then, I'm seeing these errors in syslog:
Code:

I also get errors when running "tail -f" as root:
Code:
tail: cannot watch `/var/log/syslog': No space left on device
I searched around and I found some other reports of the tail -f error, with the suggestion of increasing fs.inotify.max_user_watches. I set it to 16384, and that at first resolved the tail -f problem, but now I'm getting that error again even after upping max_user_watches.
I know swap is suggested to be approx. the same size as RAM, but with this upgrade RAM is now bigger than the 5.7G of swap.
i'm using Ubuntu virtual machine.latly, i've moved the VM image to other PC. something with the user privileges got wrong. i when i edit a file using nano for example from a simple user, it says: "no space left on device" but when i use

it works.i used
#chmod 777 filename
and it still dosent work. i cant save/write to disk while i'm in the user account. but with sudo, or root account it works.
What does it mean if you boot from a live CD, the CD spins, a screen appears with the keyboard and human icons at the bottom, then a blank screen appears with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner - and that's it? It just stays that way.

One of my file system's df -h output shows
But when I'm going to create any file or folder it shows no space available. When I put df -i it shows not much more space available.
How can I resolve it? How can I clear the unlinked or unused inode? or how can I control the inode to prevent file system full?
E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem. Yes I tried 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' Should I do a reinstall.

I've just upgraded to kubuntu 9.10, and I'm getting strange errors when trying to copy files onto my MP3 player, a SANSA M250 (2GB). df claims it's at 57% capacity (and the figures make sense for that, as well as having about the quantity of music which half fills the SANSA) but when I try to copy a file - from the command line, from exaile, or with the file manager, I get a "No space left on device" error:

CP: cannot create regular file `/media/SANSA M250/test.mp3': No space left on device
The MP3 being copied is 2MB in size so should fit easily.
There were no problems until upgrading, when I also moved from amarok to exaile - because amarok2 doesn't have the functionality I want from a player. But this happens even if exaile isn't running, so exaile shouldn't be the problem. How can I diagnose what's going on?
If I run low on free space, and I/system need to write something, then the files are just truncated. With no way to revert to their previous content.
First I installed the Windows on the VirtualBox, it sucked up all free space, so I couldn't even login to the system afterwards.
Then I, once again, silently ran out of free space, and my php editor broke. Later I discovered that it tried to write its config files, but failed, truncating them all. I lost a half a year of configurations, custom color scheme and custom code snippets.
Then one day the system just froze. Later I understood, there wasn't enough free space for it to run.
Today I was working on my php script, for like the second day, when, again, free space ran out, so with another file-save, I got a wonderfully impressing blank php-file. It was auto-reloaded from the external change, which was failure to write to file, obviously, so no ctrl-z worked, leaving me with two days work wasted and an urge to hit the monitor
My questions are:
1 How can this be fixed? Besides the obvious awesome fix "watch your free space, buddy".
2 Could somebody explain why these sorts of things happen, just so I know why the ultra-safe and durable 'nix operating system wants to destroy itself sometimes?
3 Anyone else encountered this issue?
So i am using xubuntu from wubi and i need more space to instal all the important security updates, How do i free up space? i think i made a mistake and did not allow it much space when i made the partition for it
View 4 Replies View RelatedThe wubi install of Ubuntu is saying it only has 125 MB left. I gave the install 10 GB to start with. I know the OS takes about 3 GB and I didn't install 7 GB worth applications. I'm thinking some how it confused itself. I've done run the Disk Analysis And it's rather confusing, but it seems to be looking at more then its alloted 10 GB.
