General :: Why Df -h Is Reporting That /var Partition Full
Aug 20, 2009
df -h reports that my /var partition is full..
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6 2.0G 1.4G 454M 76% /
/dev/sda1 99M 16M 79M 17% /boot
/dev/sda2 9.7G 2.2G 7.1G 24% /usr
/dev/sda3 7.7G 7.4G 0 100% /var
/dev/sda7 989M 17M 922M 2% /tmp
/dev/sda8 52G 9.0G 40G 19% /home
none 493M 0 493M 0% /dev/shm
[Code]....
Does anyone know of anything that might be on the /var partition and taking up space that I can't see, or just why df -h is reporting that it's full?

I am running Lucid server (for a Moodle install) and have sucessfully mounted a cifs partion that resides on a Win 2008 Server to be used for backup purposes.I fist tried using Webmin to backup files but have subsequently also tried using rsync.Whatever method I try to use to copy files across I am getting an error "No space left on device 28", yet the Windows partition has over 800Gb free. The root partition on my Ubuntu server also has over 25Gb free. I have also checked /tmp and /var/tmp and am unable to find anything that might cause the problem. The Windows share is mounted as follows:
//windowsserver/share$ /mnt/backup cifs credentials=/pathto/.smbcredentials,rw 0 0

I opened this thread in Ubuntu forums with no luck at all. Hope someone can give me a clue of what happens.URl...Recently, gnome has been warning me about low disk space, always less than 1.5GiGs. The problem is, baobab (disk usage analyzer) tells me that there are something like 50GiG free. I am sure that I have the free space ( I can write big files ) but the system keeps reporting low disk space.

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?

I have a 10gb partition I use for data. The /home is there, and I mount any other data partitions (like /music stuff) onto /data. These other mounted partitions add up to something like 60gb of diskspace, but since they're just mounted on /data, I believe they only take up 4096 bytes per mount point.
Some time ago, I found that the /data parition was full. There was only 330mb of data in /home, so I was perplexed. I found a cache dir under .opera that reported itself as having 132TB (yes, that is terrabytes) of files. I thought deleting the offending directory was the answer, so I deleted that cache dir and every file or subdirectory in it, but the /data partition is still like 99% full. I am a wee bit confused.
This very full /data partition is my only jfs partition. The other mounted filesystems are either ext3 or ntfs. Is it possible that the journal of this filesystem is corrupted? Or is hidden somewhere on the /data parition, taking up a bunch of space? (I obviously don't know enough about filesystem to know whether or not this is a likely scenario.) Is it possible to zero out (or delete and re-create) the journal, if so? The only other thing I can think of is to move all the /home data off, delete the partition, then re-create it and move /home back. I will do that if need be, but I'd rather learn something from the experience, weird as it is.

I'm sure I've done this before and never ran into trouble so it's not like I wasn't thinking, just something went wrong this time and I'm screwed. I'll post a fdisk -l to show ya what I mean.
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Warning: invalid flag 0x0000 of partition table 5 will be corrected by w(rite)
Disk /dev/sda: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 121601 cylinders

Well I tried to install Pclinuxos 2010 to the same partitions as Mint 7 and basically just over write it (this I have done before) but this time Pclinuxos says there is a bad block and it can't copy files to / (sda7) I didn't think much of it at the time and thought I would try to install it (Pclinuxos) on a separate 100 gb usb drive and it was a sucessful install.
After booting Pclinuxos I try to access my 1TB sda hard drive and I can ony access sda1 .....when I look at /dev/sda in gparted is shows the whole disk as unallocated.I have done nothing at this point in time other than what I just said because I am very afraid of loosing all my pictures and everything else on that disk....and for those that will say always back up ....if ya think I'm not kicking myself right now your dead wrong......

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:

Today morning I logged on to one of our servers (through ssh -X) to perform a routine maintenance. When I tried to open a GUI application, it failed to connect to the X server of the workstation. Eventually I ended up issuing the command
Code:
df -h /
and shockingly it showed that / is 100% used. I checked / using
Code:
du --max-depth=1 -xh /
to check the sizes of the individual directories, which showed that only about 18% of the / is used and that confused me badly. There was no quick solutions when I googled around; but luckily I found the following link which nicely explained the issue I had:
[URL]
All I did was found out the services responsible for those unreleased files (using lsof +L1) and restarted them. That is it. Now df reports only 18% of the disk is used and all my X things started working again, thanks to Walker.

I have a RAID 5 array, md0, with three full-disk (non-partitioned) members, sdb, sdc, and sdd. My computer will hang during the AHCI BIOS if AHCI is enabled instead of IDE, if these drives are plugged in. I believe it may be because I'm using the whole disk, and the AHCI BIOS expects an MBR to be on the drive (I don't know why it would care).
Is there a way to convert the array to use members sdb1, sdc1 and sdd1, partitioned MBR with 0xFD RAID partitions?

I am attempting to install a small rpm that will give command line access to an integrated array controller on my system so that I can add more local disk. When attempting to apply the package I am receiving an error indicating that there is not enough space available on the filesystem. I have expanded the filesystem several times today in order to try and resolve this issue and also moved ~1.5G of files to another filesystem but I am still receiving the error.
Code:
[root@frenzy1a.mgmt.qa:~]# rpm -ivh /tmp/hpacucli-8.35-7.0.noarch.rpm

So I reinstalled ubuntu on my laptop, but my partition is full while it isn't. I launch baobab, it says I got 4.48 GB free of 60GB while there are only 27GB files on my partition. Here is my partition set-up if it's useful:
-PQSERVICE 12GB free 3.52GB
-DRIVE 1 142GB free 25GB
-DRIVE 2 71GB free 28GB
-Ubuntu 63GB free 4.48GB ?????
-swap 1GB
-SWITCH 6.5GB free 6.3GB
I have a Acer Aspire 7730ZG laptop, I don't know what else I should give for information.

I am trying to run a simple piece of code but is failing on the count of the ping. I want it to report only 1 ping to my remote server and if no ping then error with a message or else the rest of the code will proceed.
Its basically telling me that my rmt server is alive and ready to take connections etc etc.
Heres the code:
Quote:
DATE=`date +%Y/%m/%d`
TIME=`date |awk '{print $4}'`
RMT_HOST=Zeus
COUNT=1
[Code]....
It's complaining about the count number I think.. but for the life of me cannot work out why.

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

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?

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.

My Fedora Core 8 server came with OpenSSH Server 4.7p1 installed. I could not find a YUM package or RPM for 5.2p1, so I installed it manually and rebooted. Now if I do a version check with "sshd -v", it reports it's version as "OpenSSH_5.2p1", but if I connect with Putty, it reports "SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_4.7". Do I have two versions of OpenSSH running or what's going on?

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.

I mount /home on its own partition that it is 20GB wide.I used 8GB in /home/b. /home contains just /home/federico & /home/lost+found (which appears to be empty).Strangely the partition appears to be full. I kept deleting files (and deleting also the Trash) but after I while my partition was full again.I do not use a swap file on this partition.

I am running Ubuntu in WUBI inside Windows, my first question is, can you do a full install to a new partition through the WUBI installation? Or would it be better to partition the disk, and just install Ubuntu, then deal with the MBR issue (been a while since I had a normal install, maybe the boot problems are gone?)? And is there any actual advantage to doing a stand alone install, while still dual booting Windows? Is there any gain from it versus the WUBI install I am running now?

I ran a test where I filled up the /var partition. The disk_full_action in auditd.conf is SUSPEND. I was expecting to see a message in /var/log/messages to indicate that the audit daemon was suspended because it did not have any space left on the partition.Why didn't I get these messages? Also, how can I tell if the audit daemon is suspended?
