Ubuntu :: Root Directory Getting Full - How To Use Disk Usage Analyzer To Trim It
Aug 22, 2010
I have root on sda1 and home on sdb1.
I am getting close to full and wanted to analyze what apps or files are taking up the most room.
How do I navigate to sda1 in Disk Usage Analyzer?
"/" says 100% 121.5GB in dua (see attached screenshot)
Code:
df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 3.7G 3.2G 317M 92% /
none 493M 340K 493M 1% /dev

Some thing is using up a huge amount of my disk space about 10G and I can not determine what it is. When I look at my disk usage in system monitor it say I have used about 25G and when I scan the directory in disk usage analyzer the entire file system used is 15G.

How do I get Ubuntu's "Disk Usage Analyzer" to show me the hidden files?
It tells me my home dir uses 3GB, but only accounts for 525MB (the results of du -shc *). Can I get it to show me the other files that are using the space?

I have a problem with my partitions being shrunk after VirtualBox PUEL 4.0.2 install. I tried VB OSE, loaded XP Pro and all necessary programs and realized it does not support sharing of folders. I then removed it and installed PUEL with XP Pro and all the same programs. The USB would not work in PUEL so I removed it and installed it as root to see if it would access the USB's. Halfway through the install it hung and gave me a space error.I cannot get the space back from whatever VB did. I deleted the .vdi's and all VM's and reinstalled VB PUEL to see if I could recover it. Nope. Then I tried GPARTED to try and reset whatever is reading the sizes incorrectly.sudo df -Th gives me:
paul@mobile2:/$ sudo df -Th
[sudo] password for paul:

I noticed on a couple of my friend's computers, the baobab with Fedora and Arch Linux was able to delete folders by right clicking on them. The Baobab with Ubuntu does not have that feature. I then looked at then obtained the source code and ran ./configure --help, and saw nothing about enabling that feature.

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've just installed ubuntu 10.04 and the message text that shows when you ssh in shows the disk usage of /home.How do I get it to show the disk usage of the entire root / instead? (like it used to on some older version of ubuntu)

I'm running into a problem where my system is running out of disk space on the root partition, but I can't figure out where the runaway usage is. I've had a stable system for a couple of years now, and it just ran out of space. I cleaned some files up to get the system workable again, but can't find the big usage area, and I'm getting conflicting results.For example, when I do a df it says I'm using 44GB out of 58 GB:
Code:
[root@Zion ~]# df -h

I have successfully migrated my linux install to a new /, /home, /boot partition on my ssd. Everything works fine, except that it won't make the root directory on the right disk. When I change the root=uuid=<drive id> to my new drive everything is fine, but I can't automate that... in other words I have manually typed the uuid of my root-partition for about 100 times now and I am fed up with that how I can save the uuid of my new drive in the startup parameters?

I'm running out of space in wubi. Online wubi help didn't help much since they suggest creating extra virtual disk space(similar to having a diffrent partition i guess) .None of them speak about increasing the size of /root disk space(or root.disk). I store all files in space shared with windows or external disk and use ubuntu only to install and use softwares and browsing. So how do increase the available space for installing more softwares?

I think To get the full value from your ram on windows you need to have a 64bit install version installed, can someone tell me if its the same with linux or Unix. I have 9gb of ram on my PC & wanted to know if I it matters if I use a 32bit Distro or if I need a 64bit on my 64bit PC to utilize all the ram.

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..

In our database, when checking the memory used using top command, we are always seeing 32 GB RAM utilized. We have set the sga_max_size to 8gb and PGA to 3 gb. We have tried shutting down oracle db and then the memory went down to 24GB when checked using top command. After cold reboot of the DB server, it gone down to 1.5 GB.
But once the users are started using after end of day, the memory again gone back to 32 GB.
Top Command output (truncated)
======================

I no longer have access to my root desktop. On a session I attempted to change the root username but i apparently assigned it a wrong directory that does not exist. When I rebooted with my new root username, i was instead recognised as a simple user (no root privileges). I tried the console to change to "old" root but root password is not accepted and there is no way to access to sudoer files. it seems that inserting a new username requires root privileges and i am back to square one. Simply logging with old root username and password after restart gives me a blank screen with nothing on it and cannot even reboot.

I realize bleachbit is supposed to "clean files", but my disk usage is at 11.8%. My disjk usage was at like 6.0%. How in the world did it jump so much? It doesnt appear to be right. The only thing I did not check were the Firefox checkboxes..

I have a computer with 16GB of ram. At the moment, top shows all the RAM is taken, (NOT by cache), but the RAM used by the various processes is very far from 16GB.I have seen this problem several times, but I don't understand what is happening.My only remedy so far has been to reboot the machine.

I've got this problem. Disk usage analyzer says I have a 70.3GB HDD which is correct. However it says that 55.7GB is used even though disk usage analyzer shows me that I have only 21.4GB filled up with data (filesystem). What is taking up all the space then?Could someone help me with this issue? I have tried to search the forums with no satisfying result.Here is the disk usage analyzer output:And here is the df output from terminal:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda1 73742752 58371236 11625564 84% /

well I went to wubi-installer, and installed Ubuntu, and I love it, I don't want to go back to windows 7, but anyways, I set Ubuntu to my D: Drive, (200GB Space) and I installed Steam (Steampowered.com) to get my games on Ubuntu. I installed all of my games, but here is a big problem, I can't figure out how to use more than 30GB on Ubuntu, it just doesn't work. I got GParted, and the D: drive is set to 195 GB (200, but Ubuntu used 5GB)

I upgraded from 9.10 to 10.04 without any visible issues. But after a few days system started to behave strange - first it shows the message that gnome-power-manager is not correctly installed on login screen. The it wasn't able to log in even - so I found that problem might be that it shows not enough space on the root partition.This is really strange for me - I do not have any special data there.
See what I have after df command:
/dev/sda2 9614148 8618864 506908 95% /
none 1024128 360 1023768 1% /dev

I am running latest apache2 available in the lucid repos on my desktop. All packages are updated as of this moment. Now in the root of my web server I have placed several soft links that point to folders on another ext3/ntfs partitions on the same disk. When I try to download any large file (say above 500M)on this server using firefox, when the 'save' window appears, my desktop freezes, I notice very high cpu-ram-disk usage, even though I have not yet clicked on 'ok' to save the file. This issue is not present when the file size is small. Note that firefox and the webserver are running on the same computer.
Also I have tried nginx and lighttpd and the issue is present there as well. When I tried downloading the same files using Internet Explorer 6.0 using a XP VM the issue is not present. However on Windows as well using Firefox the issue recurs.
