Server :: Df Reporting 100% But Du Reporting 20%?
Apr 15, 2011
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:

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 configured Nagios in my CentOS machine and is able to receive notificatons/alerts related to hosts and services at defined interval. Now I would like to receive combined reports (for daily downtime, availability of hosts/services) for all hosts and services in one go in the morning. Is there any configuration or setting on Nagios Splash screen.

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?

Wierd problem, when I map a Windows Drive to my Ubuntu HTPC Samba share, Windows reports the free space as the free space on my root partition?!!?
HTPC Ubuntu server:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda2 12G 6.5G 4.0G 62% /udev 1.6G 308K 1.6G 1% /dev
[code]....
So my root partition has 4gb free, and my samba share (/mnt/data) has 97gb free.
From Windows machine:
net use
Status Local Remote Network

OK Z: \xbmcfiles MS Windows Network

I've got a server running CentOS 4.8 (binary compatible RHEL 4.8 clone) that's decided all the accounts are expired.I've tried this on multiple accounts so far, to no avail.chage -l <username>Shows that the account never expires. In this case the problem was first noticed with the root account, then I tested it with my user account, and got the same answer, the account never expires.For the test I added a crontab to my account, and to roots, ever minute run "whoami"In the log I get (once for each crontab):rond[]: User account has expiredRecycling crond doesn't help, and I can't recycle the box itself as I've got users on it (pounding away at the poor box at that).
Several searches so far have only turned up that locked root accounts (ala debian/ubuntu) can cause this, and check or correct the age of the account using chage.Comparing entries in /etc/shadow to other boxes where everything is kosher doesn't seem to help either: the important bits are identical.

I am new to Ubuntu, so I do not know how to report bugs if and when found. Could anyone tell me how to do so?

Is this seriously the ONLY way to report a bug? I can't just fill out a form somewhere without running software to do it? When I try to do it the way explained in the guide, it tells me that I'm using a stable version of Xubuntu, and that only people running dev versions (like 11.10) can report bugs.This seems absurd. Are they saying that all stable releases are perfect in every way? Surely one must be able to report a bug for them...

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

I have rebooted the server a couple of times and ran fsck as well.

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 just did a fresh install of 10.10. I was running 10.04 but formatted that partition when installing from a USB key. Pre-install, I ran:
Code:
sudo dpkg --get-selections > package.selections Post-install, I moved some of my etc files back in. I updated my sources.list. Then I ran
Code:
sudo dpkg --set-selections < package.selections
sudo apt-get dselect-upgrade
However, lsb_release is reporting 10.04. When I boot the system it doesn't show the typical boot screen but rather "Ubuntu 10.10" and output of what's loading up. On my laptop (upon which 10.10 installed fine), the splash screen shows the dots loading up with the new Ubuntu splash (10.10 style).
I go into Update Manager, and it thinks I need to upgrade to 10.10. Thing is, I'm already on 10.10. My kernel version is 2.6.35.22 and I'm running Gnome 2.32.00 according to the System Monitor. I'm wondering if I'm getting 10.10 updates or 10.04 updates since my system incorrectly thinks I'm on 10.04.

230Gb HD, I recently partitioned a 90Gb slice, and ran 10.10 on it for a while, but due to not using it, I fired up gparted off a live disc last night and got rid of the partition. I got Gparted to make a 5gb swap, and the rest for 10.04, all is fine, rebooted to 10.04, updated grub, it removed the entry for 10.10, but reports that my hd is only 140gb, and sda2 is a 5gb swap. What gives? Where's my disc space?

UBUNTU 10.10.This is almost funny but maybe useful: As I am working around my desktops, at times I was getting a sudden changes where shorter screens of my open programs and workspaces appeared. I pressed Esc and all went fine again.Since this was happening frequently I tried to find out what triggers it.I discovered that when I move my mouse pointer over the right bottom corner on my desktop all workspaces will be shown in reduced size in my desktop. When I moved my mouse in the left bottom corner, all open program in the active workspace where shown reduced in size (even the auxiliary pop up toolbars. Esc works fine to return to normal. When I move my mouse over the top right corner then all open programs in the open workspace will get minimized, Esc will not bring them back, you have to click in the task bar. When I move my mouse over the top left corner, unfortunately nothing happens.

I've tried the bug-reporting tool in Gnome to no avail so far. This isn't a huge problem, more a cosmetic one. I'm running Squeeze beta 2, which was a fresh install. I have a Maxtor USB portable HD, which I use to back up personal data. It auto-mounts fine, as soon as I connect it. I have full read-write access from my regular user account; but when I'm finished accessing it, when I right-click and select "Safely remove" I get an error every time. The error has to do with "unable to unmount . . . ." and I wish I had the exact text but I don't. Anyway, when I open a terminal and check the mount point, the drive *has* unmounted, so I'm not worried about data loss. But why the error? BTW, the drive is formatted as one partition with NTFS.
I'm not looking for an answer so much as I am just trying to see that someone involved in trying to get Squeeze ready to release hears about this. It's no big deal, but it looks bad.

Quick background: the office in my shop is just a partitioned area so is subject to temperature and dust, just as the workshop area is. I've upgraded my desktop from an AMD Phenom II X4 955 which used to suffer overheating problems (despite regular cleaning) to an AMD FX-6300 on a Gigabyte 970A-D3P motherboard. For cooling I've fitted a Cooler Master Hyper TX3, plus various fans. Fresh install of Debian 8.3.
The cooler has certainly solved the overheating issues and the machine runs very quietly, rather than sounding like a 747 at take-off. But I'm now having some problems getting consistent reporting on temperatures.
The BIOS reports temperatures from the CPU which seem to be fairly consistently in the mid to high 30s (C).
lm-sensors and hddtemp have been installed.
sensors-detect reports (just the last section)
Code: Select allNow follows a summary of the probes I have just done.
Just press ENTER to continue:
Driver `k10temp' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 15h thermal sensors' (confidence: 9)
Driver `fam15h_power' (autoloaded):
* Chip `AMD Family 15h power sensors' (confidence: 9)
[Code].....
psensor identifies AMD CPU and the NVidia GPU, apparently correctly, as it does the HDDs.
So, my problem is that the CPU temps reported by psensor and the panel app vary quite significantly with those that are reported in the BIOS. My thinking is that the BIOS is correct and that the software is either misreporting the temperatures or using the wrong sensors.
On the old machine I used to get a temperature from each core, just like in the BIOS, but now I'm only getting a single CPU reading.

I am running a sever for a local community. There is arpwatch service running and monitoring for new network cards. The problem is that each day I keep getting lots of 'flip flop' reports:
Code:
hostname: <unknown>
ip address: 0.0.0.0
ethernet address: 0:13:e8:43:b1:e7
[code]....
I know where they come from: clients are obtaining ip addresses by DHCP, and initially are sending DHCP requests from 0.0.0.0. I am running arpwatch with a specific option to NOT report such things, but it looks like it is ignored...
Code:
arpwatch -u arpwatch -e admin -N -s 'root (Arpwatch)' -i br0 -n 0.0.0.0/32

I have an computer that mounts an external hard drive for backups. The Computer hard drive is about 110 GB; the external drive is 120 GB.
When I do a df -h it tells me there is 97% in use.
Checking the computer harddrive I am using about 52.8 GB (of the 110 GB) 501,579 items, totalling 52.8 GB (some contents unreadable)
The external drive is using roughly 49GB of the 120 GB available.
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/xanadu-root
114536088 104995108 3768692 97% /
udev 1030572 328 1030244 1% /dev
[Code]....
It seems like the total % is a reflect of total space consumed calculated off of ONE of the hard drives.

I delete the file and within about a week i am back to a "out of space error" I have tried root owning the file with no permission to write, but it still gets written, just with a number on the end
the system appears to be working fine otherwise. I could set a cron remove but that seems a bit more hacky than telling it to shut up.

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 recently bought an Asus M4N78-AM mobo, AMD processor and memory as an upgrade for a computer. I am using a SATA hdd (no problem with it) and wanted to attach also a Maxtor IDE && DVD IDE wich was the system disk in the old computer. From the very first time, I had problems reading the IDE when copying the old data to the new SATA disk - Slackware 13 only detected the partitions on second reboot (??), the first time complaining about partitions out of limits.
Once transferred all data, I compiled a new 2.6.32.4 kernel and discovered I couldn't access with it the IDE disk. Rebooting, BIOS reports IDE disk as 0Mb in setup, but 1,5 Gb in post summary (just before lilo). cfdisk, parted and sfdisk reports 1.5 Gb and that
should have c/h/s 24792/255/63 --> 204Gb
but has c/h/s */127/3 --> 1.5 Gb
Windows (dual boot) says also 1.5 Gb. BUT 2.6.29.6-huge-smp kernel (slackware 13's) says 204 Gb (reports correct c/h/s) and works fine.
Things I've tried:
partition/repartition with sfdisk, cfdisk, parted
dd first 1Mb with /dev/zero
format ext2/ext3/ext4/vfat
changed IDE cable (no HW damage visible anywhere)
set as slave, master, CS, with/without DVD
A strange thing is the mobo returns a "SATA 3 error" if the disk is alone in the IDE bus (with or without the SATA disk, wich is using the SATA port #1, by the way). If the DVD is connected as a slave, no errors at post. Well, the quick solution is obvious: USE THE DAMN 2.6.29.6 kernel! But the thing is I cant't figure out why BIOS says 0Mb first, then 1.5Gb and if this means the mobo is damaged; never had any problem with the disk before and SMART says OK... Also, I could use the IDE with Linux, but Windows will always report 1.5Gb (as I suppose it takes the geometry the same way BIOS does)/.
