I've suddenly got the problem (debian lenny ) of my diskspace running out. By that I mean my disc ran short, even though I thought I should have space. So I freed 3.8 GB, now a week later it's telling me I only have 67mb left on my disc again. So I think something is going wrong, can anyone advise or point me to tools that will do analysis of my disc for usage?

The problem is im running out of disc space. Any ideas on how i can add more space. I have gparted but i dont know where to move the free space to because wubi installed it.

Im getting warning messages saying that I only have about 75 MB left on linux. Windows has lots of space available (especially the "d" partition which I use for storing stuff in like music and video) but I do not know how to "claim" that partition for for Suse.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm starting to push the limit of my /home directory. My machine is Linux/Windows dual-boot. I need to keep Windows as the machine is not "officially" mine, and so might need to go back at some point to a Windows user. All my normal Windows access is via VirtualBox. I have made my Windows partitions as small as possible, and now have an empty D partition as follows:
It's the D* partition that I would like to add to my home directory. Is there an easy way of doing this, or am I looking at a complete re-install of openSUSE?
I am searching a GUI based "tree view utility" which shows me which directories consume how much hard disc space (cumulative, including recursively the sub directories; including hidden files). Is there such a tool fur Ubuntu/Linux and how do I install it? Is there at least a cmdline command which does the same job in terminal window?

See "10.4 synaptic package manager error" thread, for more details. Basically, I want to find a way to save my data. To do that, I need to figure out what exactly went wrong. Any of u who really wanna help, see that thread and the 1 mentioned in that thread, in order to extract a reason for all this madness from carefully examining every erroneous step.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI started by running ubuntu 10.10 live CD and I did an install on my iMac. I went the route of just deleting all the data off of the iMac (I have a time capsule backup) and ran the install. Well when i booted the computer back up then Ubuntu did not come up as expected.After a few trial and errors I decided to just reinstall the Mac OS. I put the wrong disc in (it was an upgrade disk and not the disk that came with the iMac) so I wanted to eject it. That was a no go. Keep in mind i was using LOGITECH KEYBOARD and not the wireless keyboard that came with it. So when my computer boots up now all I get is the grey screen. After a while it tried to boot up Ubuntu. The screen has a flashing cursor, and then it disappears and the screen stays black.
I can get the computer to the point where if I hold the option key (alt on my logitech keyboard) then the option to boot to windows or the CD comes up. I can't boot to either.I've tried the command (windows key on the logitech keyboard) ctrl+o+f start up keys to try and get the command prompt up and that didn't work eitherI've tried a few other things and they didn't work. I'm not even sure my wireless keyboard works on bootup. I've tried to hold down the option key for the dual boot selection screen and it doesn't pop up, but it pops up when I use the logitech keyboard.Oh someone PLEASE help me. I have an Intel core iMac which was bough with the last year I believe. I would like to get the disc out or at least get Ubuntu up and I can eject the disk from the Ubuntu OS.
I am new to Linux but wanted to try it. I downloaded Ubuntu and burned the ISO to disc, I restarted my PC and the disc runs and seems to be loading, a purple screen appears with a small icon at the bottom, then the screen turns black and that is all, disc stops running and nothing else, am i doing something wrong here?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI was reading the fedora Disk requirements and it said you need 9 GB of disc space. Which partition should this 9 GB of space be on? I plan on having a / root partition, /home partition, a swap partition, and a /boot partition.
Quote: 1.2.3. Hard disk space requirements for all architectures The complete packages can occupy over 9 GB of disk space. Final size is entirely determined by the installing spin and the packages selected during installation. Additional disk space is required during installation to support the installation environment. This additional disk space corresponds to the size of /Fedora/base/stage2.img (on Installation Disc 1) plus the size of the files in /var/lib/rpm on the installed system.
In practical terms, additional space requirements may range from as little as 90 MiB for a minimal installation to as much as an additional 175 MiB for a larger installation. Additional space is also required for any user data, and at least 5% free space should be maintained for proper system operation. [URL]
I have just installed 11.3 x64. The installation went fine and worked for the first few hours. I ran the online update tool, and now it cannot find grub unless the installation disc is inserted and I select the "boot from hard disc" option.
I have read about the problem of the root partition being back, but not sure that's it.
sda1 - swap
sda2 - /
sda3 - /home
There used to be a repair tool in the installation disks. I could not find that in this media. Is that still available?
this blew my mind today, because i've been using ubuntu for 2 and half years. Brasero 2.28.2 in Karmic does not have an option enable multisessions when burning disc or import a disc which has a multisession.
Seriously, wtf is going on? This is supposed to be Ubuntu's default CD authoring software.
I'm trying to install files and everytime I manage to install from the first disc I succeed. When I get the the second disc I just keep clicking the "OK" button instead of "Cancel" and it keeps neglecting it.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm sorry for this stupid question, but I have nowhere found it.I need to access to my USB disc from text mode (In Fedora LiveCD I see it and i can access /media/New Volume). In F12 runlevel 3 in mc I see it in /dev/disc/by-label as @Newx20Volume. But I don't know what is the correct path.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIf you haven't heard, PS3's on custom firmware have access to a linux install of sorts.
The OS is running from an .img of a Debian squeeze install.
My problem is that installing anything makes it run out of space. (It's only a 1Gig image)
I have searched and found some info, but it doesn't seem to work.
Make sure you have loop module on your linux.
Now you can copy the linux.img to your root of usb stick...
AND...
Mount first the original 1gb linux.img and then copy it to somewhere and then create an bigger image and copy to the new image.
mount:
And then follow the how to above. i think you should copy the folder with rsync because cp command will damage folder permissions!
A few days ago, I got a message that stated I had zero bytes of disk space left.Odd, I thought, but I had been doing video transcribing and thought that may be the issue.I moved a video (4 GB) off the hard drive to an external drive and then went about my business.This morning, I got the message again. I enclosed a screen shot. I moved a few more items off my hard drive - but then was soon out of space again. (Less than an hour later.)I logged in as root and poked around. I noticed that /var/archives had almost 60 GB of data in .tar.gz files.I moved them off to an external drive and am okay for now.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a dual boot system that only has about 6.5 GB of total file space for Ubuntu on the disk. Recently I upgraded to 11.04, and have had problems logging on and in downloading and installing programs. Occasionally I get messages that say available memory [edit: I meant disk space, not memory] is too low.
I see from the disk analyzer that a folder called tmp is very large. Can that file be safely deleted? Anything else to clean up and scavenge more space?
I recently installed Linux Mint alongside Win 7 and following the instructions , I created seperate / and /home partitions. The more applications i install (I have installed a couple of big games) the less space i have in /. Is there any way I can install these in /home instead ? Or do i need to boot up with Gparted and increase my /partition. I only gave the / partition 10 gigs because i was advised that this was all i'd ever need.

I installed Fedora 14 onto the 4GB partition but I am running out of space.

I installed Ubuntu 9.10 onto my laptop and then upgraded it to Ubuntu 10.4. I've added some software packages along the way, such as MythTV and several smaller apps, but have not gone crazy in adding apps. I have a 160GB hard drive.I ran out of disk space recording a World Cup game and was surprised. I deleted all of the MythTV recordings and ran Computer Janitor and now I have only about 50GB of free space! It is not my primary computer, so I don't have a bunch of videos, music, pr pictures on it.
I did a clean install of Ubuntu 10.4 to a USB flash drive and it has only 3.7GB occupied on the drive.Any recommendations of why I have over 100GB on the hard drive and any cures on how to clear out unneeded files?
I'm a little puzzled as to why I'm getting a warning about running out of disk space. It seems others have similar issues but with little resolvI received a warning about how I have little disk space remaining. I got the message when writing files to my /home directory.The output of df -h is:

I have a Ubuntu 8.10 perfect server and I made a stupid decision at install. I selected only 160 gb for /var partition and now it's 99% full. I added another mail domain and they came with alot of emails from the old server. How can I manage this? I got /home partition that's double in size and it's almos empty. Can I create a shortcut for the whole domain and move it to /home? Right now it resides in [URL]. I would like to make this move without affecting the files properties nor users passwords. Most perfect would be to remake the whole system on a single / partition. I have configured a soft raid thou using 2 hard-disks in mirror. So I prefer to get a new hard-disk, format it for a single / partition and swap and move the whole system on that. Would it be too complicated? Or make a new Perfect Ubuntu 10.04 LTS server with ispconfig 2 and move the whole domains with the users passwords and emails and websites?
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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).
