Ubuntu Servers :: Disk Full But Really Isn't?
Jun 30, 2010
So i just installed ubuntu server 8.04. Got everything set up and started putting my files on it. 6 Hours of copying later I get a message saying that my Disk is full. This is a 1.5TB HD and it stopped copying at 269GB. fdisk shows the drive as 1.5TB, and ls -sh shows that only 269GB have been used. Yet I cannot add any more files. The other weird thing is that df doesn't show the hard drive, yet I know it is mounted and accessible. If it makes a difference I have it formatted to ext3.

I have Bind on the machine at present, but I was wondering how much disk would be needed to make it a full DNS server that could act in place of a dead upstream service.

For our workgroup I set up a server which is basically 10.04.2 with kernel 2.6.32-32-server on a SSD and all the data on a RAID 5 consisting of 4 2TB hard disks, thus a maximum of 6TB space for data on the RAID. Having multiple users with different amounts of data from different scientific data source I set up an lvm on top of the RAID
--- Physical volume ---
PV Name /dev/sdb2
VG Name home-data
PV Size 5,45 TiB / not usable 3,00 MiB
[code]...
Here is the problem: The volume Genomes (or /genomes) is half full
sudo df -ah
/dev/mapper/home--data-Genomes
1,9T 850G 920G 49% /genomes
but the system states it as full whenever I try to add more data (tried cp and rsync). There is no quota set to the volume (I have quotas in place for users home folders. These are only for max amount of disk space, not max file number, and I am still able to move/add files elsewhere so there seems to be no interference).

I'm running mythbuntu 9.04 and am having an issue with disk space.
I try 'rm' various log files but the space I free up lasts less than a minute before the disk reports as being full once more.
df -Th | sort gives:
Quote:
/dev/sda1 ext3 8.3G 7.9G 0 100% /
/dev/sda6 ext3 138G 125G 6.3G 96% /music
/dev/sda7 xfs 783G 617G 167G 79% /videos
/dev/sdb2 xfs 344G 242G 103G 71% /recordings
[Code]....
There's nothing enormous in /var/log and my trash and the root trash are empty.
why size and used fields are not the same despite 100% usage being reported on sda1..

I'm on 10.04. Cloning a vdi yesterday, I managed to produce a 'disk is almost full' message. Deleted some movies and wanted to try the cloning again today, but starting my laptop, I get an ugly gray login screen.When I login, it looks almost good (some console writing to fast to read) but then it falls back to login informing me 'Install Problem: The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly."

I am trying to upgrade to 9.10 but it fails because the disk is full. I am running a Dell Mini with 16GB SSD...so there isn't a lot of free space to begin with. Added to that, I have some hefty applications (rosegarden, audacity, skype, etc) which I kind of need. Am I better off just sticking to 9.04? Are there any good ways to clean up the system and get rid of stuff that might be sticking around? I did apt-get clean and it didn't clean enough.

I am using default USB Startup disk creator for spreading new versions of ubuntu on all my machines. In 10.04, I point it to GnomeLiveCD of 600Mb, and usual 4Gb flash drive. And the application says I have not enough space.4Gb is empty, fresh formatted, with right partiion. It is OK in short. Do somebody know what to do with app?

The disk on this machine was full (0 bytes available). I rebooted and now it just goes to a blank screen. I thought I might need to free up some space for something, so I booted to a live cd and freed up some space. Still boots to a blank black screen.

I am having trouble with my HDD.
Here is how Disk Usage Analyzer looks like:
But I can not find any files there to delete.
Trash is also clean.

For some reason I can't find any documentation re: the algorithm(s) used by Ubuntu to encrypt the filesystem... Anyone know what it is?? AES?

I have a bunch of pictures that I thought I had backed up but as it turns out I didn't, the problem is I formatted the drive they were on.
It is a 1TB hard drive, and it was running Ubuntu 10.10 using full disk encryption from the alternate install CD. After formatting, I installed Ubuntu Server 10.10, also using full disk encryption.
I know the encryption key for both installs (and the keys in fact are the same).
I have turned off the machine, and have stopped writing to the disk. I am hoping because it is a 1TB drive, and I have only written over it with 2GB of data, that there is a chance I can recover the data.

I managed to get a cheap refurbed netbook recently (Samsung N150) and I'm wanting to put Ubuntu on it. As it's also likely to be used when travelling and have things like chat logs, photos, and other such things I'd like to do full disk encryption. Also I've been pointed towards 10.4 as apparently the 10.10 netbook desktop isn't to everyone's taste.
So I tried using unetbootin to make a bootable 10.4.1 i386 Alternate usb stick, which hit the problem of no cd drive. I found an item to add to the boot (cdrom-detect/try-usb=true) which got it a little further, but at a copying stage it threw an error saying it couldn't copy off the disc.
Finally I tried making a unetbootin of the mini iso (does mini even support full disk encryption?) but that seems to hang after selecting a mirror.
EDIT: Well it seems I was just impatient on the mini ISO and after a few minutes it's gone onto time-zone, though of course this could get rather tiresome without a local mirror, especially given this may go through more than one iteration.

I was testing out a new cron job (very simple rsync), and for whatever reason when executed at midnight, the files were not written to the correct drive (executing the script manually does this).
'watching' df -k, I could see '/' fill up extremely quickly. I now have about 10GB~ free space on the 74GB raptor - down from 60GB. I've gone through trying to find the offending files, however I can't seem to find them anywhere. Any variety of 'du' that I know of isn't turning up anything.

Is there a way to install ubuntu 10.04 or 10.10 with full disk encryption? I read how to do it in the 8.0 version, was wondering if it is still possible?

this isn't really a security question, per se, so feel free to move. It is related to full disk LVM encryption though. Full disk didn't work for me with grub2 after running dd to a remote server, so I downgraded to grub1. No biggie. However, I have neither grub or grub2 as selected in Synaptic.Let's say I forget which I have installed. How would I determine what version of grub is installed at the moment. I'm assuming it's somehow installed on in the mbr but not on the OS. I didn't mean to do anything funky. Is that the normal setup? I'm deploying these systems to users and want to be able to troubleshoot issues in the future (hopefully that will not be needed!) grub --version does not work because it is not installed.

I've been getting this error message:"The configuration defaults for GNOME Power Manager have not been installed correctly. Please contact your computer administrator."a few times, and it turns out to be because of low disk space. No worry, I empty the trash uninstall unneeded programs and clean out the downloads folder that filled up my disk. And all is ok. But not this time.Since I can't use X, I delete stuff from the terminal, and also make sure to clean out the .Trash in both /home and /root. But still the disk is full. I delete more stuff, but it doesn't even seem to go to .Trash. It disappears, but no more disk space.

I have a problem on my installation of Ubuntu 10.10: it shows 0kb space remaining in nautilus. When I delete files (also out of Trash) it shows there is again space, but within minutes this free space is full again. When I look in Disk Usage Analyzer it says there is 140 GB available and it is impossible that the complete partition of 190 GB is full. But I cannot save or download anything anymore and the system is not very responsive. So it seems to act as if the disk is completely full.

I set up a Windows partition and an Ubuntu partition in my laptop and each partition has about 60 gigabyte of disk space. Recently I keep getting messages that the disk space in my Ubuntu partition is almost full. How is it possible since I only have computer programs which I absolutely need?

if there was a way, to add a folder to a hard disk which was full of symlinks to a CD drive. This would primarily be a way to store offline media and a way to access it. I would still be able to browse the folder structure and see the files (but possibly not the sizes). I imagine something like this:
/archive/cd/cd1/photos/me.jpg > /mnt/cdrom/cd1/photos/me.jpg
Therefore I can see what files I have available, and I know which media to insert (in this case cd1) and I would then be able to view the files? Or if anyone has a better idea I'm open to it. Just to mention I don't have a GUI on this server, it is completely headless so any solution needs to be console based

I have a little/big problem. This morning, I dont know why, but suddently my hard disk was full. I thougt that the temporary space grew too mucho and I thought if I restart my machine, everything would be nice but no. Now in the logging screen comes messages that some components cant be load and so I can't go in my Fedora
I tried to access to my partition with Knoppix-livecd and free some space, but it seems that Knoppix can't access to that partition. I have installed fedora 12.

Could anyone recommend a method of creating a full disk image. I have the Acronis bootable media, would this work to backup Linux partitions? I'm thinking that Acronis doesn't know or care what is written to the disk as it works at a lower level.

The only reason why I don't use Linux (even though I prefer Linux over Windows, and can do everything faster and more efficiently) is because each time I try to learn about dm-crypt I give up.
Can someone point me in the right direction for full OTFE on Linux (like TrueCrypt)?
