Server :: /usr Missing Free Space?
Aug 23, 2010
just some time ago, my /usr partition's used space is started to increase rapidly, and currently it reached 17.5GB. We put /usr as a separate partition (/dev/sda2)
So when we do "df" this is the result:
Code:
#df
...
/dev/sda2 20315844 17612628 1654576 92% /usr
...
But what makes me puzzled is if I do "du", I only get 4.3GB instead of 20GB as "df" reported.
Code:
# du -csh /usr
4.3G /usr
4.3G total
So I'm missing approx 13GB here. My question is:where does my 13GB missing?

I've got a question on free disk space. I'm currently running CentOS 5.5 on in Xenserver virtual environment. We've had an issue with disk space. My question is as follows: - from a ssh connection i run df -h this gives the value of 90% used leaving me with 9GB. If I use system monitor via a VNC connection the free disk space value is 20GB free on the same volume. Which one is correct? I do use SNMP to monitor the same volume and should alert me when < 10% is free I know this works as I set the alert threshold to < 90% I get an alert.

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
[code]....

I have red hat linux server and it has mysql installed whenever i write on terminal command mysql -u root it shows error "ERROR 2002 (HY000): can't connect to local MYSQL server through '/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock (111) "
And another problem is that it is showing 0 byte free space istaed of freeing the space. it may seems that both problems are dependent on each other.

I just tried to download a torrent and got an error message indicating there was no space left in the download location I'd specified.
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?

The root partition on my server seems to be full. I'd like to find out what files are on that partition and only that partition so I can free up some space on it.
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda5 7.8G 7.8G 0 100% /
/dev/hda8 84G 33G 47G 42% /home
/dev/hda6 996M 43M 902M 5% /tmp
[Code].....
So how do I find out what I can remove to free up some space?

My HDD shows:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda5 416G 379G 16G 97% /media/Media
sda5 is formated as ext4 - Any thoughts why the numbers do not add up? 416-379 is not 16. I seem to be missing some free space.

I am a complete noob using Ubuntu 9.10 for the past 6 months. I have a dual boot system i.e windows XP and Ubuntu 9.10. I never had any issue until I started getting the following warning message whenever I try to install updates from update manager. I can't even download other stuff from internet.
Not enough free disk space
The upgrade needs a total of 173M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 63.1M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean'. Emptying trash and using sudo apt-get clean did not help.

I am running a fedora 12. My free space is continuously decreasing every time I restart my computer. I haven't installed any software nor I am using internet. Also do I need to manually delete temporary files or fedora does it on its own?

according to the system manager of my machine, one of my ext4 partitions (home folder) reads 7.6GB free but only 574MB available and the disks "fills" when the 574MB are used, and i'm really needing those 7G right now, so:
why does this happen? are those 7G used in anything? any way to allow the system use that free space?
