Server :: Ubuntu Install - Space Going Less (Directory So Big)
Aug 16, 2010
I installed Ubuntu for a new server for a while (about one month long), then I logged in for configurations everyday. Today after I logged in system showed
Code:
Usage of /: 93.8% of 35.76 GB
so I used df -hl for query detail and system showed
Code:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Used% Mounted on
/home/myuser/.Private 36G 34G 501M 99% /home/myuser
What happen with my server, Virus or not? Why that directory is so big? Is there necessary files? Can I resolve and how to do it?

I am using Redhat Linux 4 as I checked space and foud that / is 100% full. Like below:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3 2316536 2179008 19852 100% /
/dev/hda2 101107 9324 86562 10% /boot
/dev/hda6 1683960 70256 1528160 5% /home
none 192012 0 192012 0% /dev/shm
How to create more space on / directory? or decrease size in / directory.

how can I traverse a directory from Kernel space? I'm using the path_lookup function. However, through the inodes I get with this functions I can only access those files that have been displayed at some point by another process (doing ls from the terminal for example)

I am using fedora 12. I got "no space in root directory" warning from the system. When I went through it, I found many of the space has been occupied by /var/log/httpd/error-log file. So I just deleted the file but when I check the space with "df -h" command. It shows 0% availability. The same problem occurred before but it solved when I restarted the system. But how to regain the space without restarting the system?

I have an external 800GB USB drive I used for storage for both files from Win XP and Suse 9.0.I can read and write my data from Win XP o.k but when I try to write any files from Suse side it gave me 'read only file system' . This drive from Unix is mounted in /media directory with root owner with executable and read only. When I changed to become root and issue chmod 777 'FreeAgent Drive'.I got error chmod: changing permissions of 'FreeAgent Drive':Read only file system.
From unix, reading any file on this drive, using gui application, I can not access the drive at all but I can see all files on the drive using a command with quote (cd /media/'FreeAgent Drive')

i'm using c++ and Ubuntu and I need to write/copy some files to a directory chosen by the user of my system (the user can save it on any folder of any disk of the pc or other usb device). Before I do it, I need to know if there's space available on the disk. I cannot only check the result of write() function, the validation must be executed before I start to save or copy.
I was trying to use statvsf structure, but I only have the complete filepath (/home/lobinho/myDocs/), not the disk path. The statvfs() function only works with disk path (i.e. /media/KINGSTON ).
The source of my function:
Code:
int MyClass::availableSpace(string dst, ulong* availableSize) {
int result = ERROR;
try {
struct statvfs devData;
[Code]...

CentOS 5.4 (Final) is installed on my VPS.I'd uploaded a zip file that contains a directory and some files that there are space in their names and now I can't do anything with them.
I can't move them using mv command
I can't rename them
I can only re-compress or delete the folder
how I can rename or move them?

I 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).

I'm starting using Centos having a trouble.
I'm trying to execute the command:
Uum Update
Or other yum installation of samething
After a while I obtain always messages saying:
Insufficient space in download directory
So I understood is a problem with space.
I went to my shell and digited the command:
df -h
but it show there is plenty of space.
I also deleted a lot of space to make room, just to be sure, but nothing different happens. I'm attaching a screenshot to this post.

I'm trying to run preupgrade to upgrade to fedora 14 from fedora 12 and get a message saying there is not enough space in /boot/upgrade. I've found some instructions on how to make more room in the boot directory but I get an error near the last step as I have noted below:
Method 1: Free up space
First, try to remove any kernel packages not currently in use on your system. The kernel-prune.py script can be used to identify kernels that may be safely removed. If you choose to remove additional kernels, be prepared with installation media should you be unable to return to your previously installed system.
The installer will need approximately 26M of free space in /boot. Use the following command to determine the amount of free space in the /boot partition:
df -h /boot
To identify kernels that may be safely removed, run the following from a command line:
curl -O '[URL]'
chmod a+x kernel-prune.py
./kernel-prune.py
Now, to actually remove the kernel versions listed by the above command, run the following as root:
# PKGS=`./kernel-prune.py`
# echo $PKGS
# yum remove $PKGS
Next, adjust the number of reserved filesystem blocks using the command tune2fs. You'll first need to identify the block device for your /boot file system. In the example below, /dev/sda1 is the block device for the /boot filesystem.
# mount | grep "/boot"
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext4 (rw)
I get this far and get the following Error:
[root@localhost ~]# mount | grep "/boot"
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
[root@localhost ~]# /dev/sda1 on /boot tupe ext3 (rw)
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[root@localhost ~]# mount | grep "/boot" /dev/sda1 on /boot/type ext3 (rw)
-bash: syntax error near unexpected token `('
[root@localhost ~]#
Now, adjust the number of reserved blocks for the /boot filesystem using the command tune2fs. Normally, a small amount of space on ext filesystem formatted partitions is 'reserved' and can only be used by the system administrator; this is to prevent an entirely full partition from rendering a system unbootable, and allow the administrator some space in which to work in order to clean up 'full' partitions. However, neither of this cases really applies to the /boot filesystem, so removing this reserved space is safe.
# tune2fs -r 0 /dev/sda1

I learned a little bit about this command (du) to find out how much space a directory takes up but what I want to know is can you tell it to exclude directories?For instance, I wanted to know how large the / directory is on my old suse10 drive but I want to exclude /home (/home was not a separate partition on that drive).

I'm creating a bash script to check how much free space is left in /var directory then, if it hits a certain threshold, delete certain files with numbers for extensions (e.g. fileA.1, fileA.2 fileA.3, and fileA.4, fileB.1, fileB.2 fileB.3, and fileB.4 ). Here's a snippet from my script:
[Code]...
If I use a * as a wildcard for the number extension, the script fails. Maybe regex would work here, but I'm not particularly accomplished at it. Or some other construct.

Logical Memory Space of 4GB is divided in to 3GB User Space and 1GB Kernel Space. Always. Correct?
1. How can we change it? (just changing value of PAGE_OFFSET is okay?)
2. If system have only 256MB of memory (embedded system) and suppose Kernel Modules eat away all the memory during boot. User space will be left will no memory. Is this case possible?

I have a server with Fedora 13 with which I would like to get NFS working. I have looked up multiple howto's and tutorials, but I'm having a problem not addressed by any of them.Official how-to, another how-to, and another how-to.I have verified that nfs-utils, nfs-utils-lib, portmap, and system-config-nfs are installed and running. I have verified that I have, in fact, shared the directory that I want to share, and that the proper permissions are set.
I had to go through some gyrations to get the Belkin wireless N router to allow my server to have a static IP. However, I can ping the server from the nfs client (a toshiba satellite running mint 8), and vice versa. I have (for now) disabled firewalls on both computers. I think I have disabled SELinux on Fedora 13 (for now).When I attempt to connect to the server from the client, the output looks like this:Quote:
aragorn ~ # mount -v 192.168.2.101:/test /home/kelev/test/
mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon
mount.nfs: timeout set for Sat Dec 18 12:21:09 2010

Ubuntu server recently had issues with a disk. fsck seemed to correct everything, but I have one directory that I can't delete, chown, chgrp, chmod, etc.
Here's the listing for the directory
dr-x-wxrwt 2 16709 25134 8192 2020-08-23 22:34 UDLEDATB.DBF
Note the sticky bit is set and the uid is a number that does not appear in /etc/passwd.
Even as root, any attempt to delete, chmod, chown, etc. gives "Operation not permitted".
Since sticky bit on a directory restricts delete to the owner and the owner is invalid, I am stuck. I need to delete this directory.
How can I fix this?

I'm using OpenSSH 5.5p1 on Fedora 15. I'm trying to get a chrootDirectory to work. Specifically trying to figure out why I can't write files to a sub-directory of the chroot directory. I created a user test_user and created a group called sftp. I added test_user to the sftp group. I edited /etc/ssh/sshd_config as follows:
Code:
Subsystem sftp internal-sftp
Match group sftp
ChrootDirectory /home/sftp_users/%u
X11Forwarding no
