Ubuntu :: Log Files Eating Hard Disk Space?
Jan 29, 2009running ubuntu 8.10 amd64 on my HP intel 2.26ghz dual core processor, 320gb hdd and 4gb ram. My main problem is that when I dual booted ubuntu onto my laptop, I had vista already installed, so I only set aside 20GB of hard disk space for ubuntu, which seems like more than enough to me. What's going on is that it says I have used all my space and only have one GB left, when the only thing I have on my computer are word files and necessary installs like flash player, compiz, avant, etc.When trying to hunt down what was using all my space, first I checked out the disk usage analyzer (some pics from here in):theres my hdd with 1/19 gb remaining here's a breakdown of my home folder, showing that it's not using very much at allhere's my filesystem, now we can see that all the space is being used in the folder: /var

Aug 24, 2010I'm getting "Low Disk Space" warnings in Ubuntu 10.04, because of eCryptfs, which somehow manages to eat up twice as much disk space as an unencrypted partition normally would.When I click "Examine" this is the picture that I see:(the blurred out part is my username of course)Why is this happening?And most importantly, what can I do about it?Does Ubuntu expect me to buy twice as much disk space just to encrypt it?!

Apr 13, 2010I was running ubuntu 9.4 previously and a few days ago i upgraded to 10.04. everything appears to be perfect.
However i ran df -h and was surprised that i had 3.7G remaining on the / i went to my home directory and moved out 15Gig and executed df -h again the result is the same 3.7G remaining.
I went to "/var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs" only to find nothing in there and at one level up "/var/lib/ureadahead" there is a file called "pack" which is 768.6Kb in size.
After moving files from the home directory i did a property check on it and the home folder is 3.8Gg used
Im confused as to
1, what is eating my HDD space ?
2, is "/var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs" misleading the sytem
3, is this a bug ?
Im using ubuntu 10.04 but up till a few days ago it has been 9.4 so im guessing this problem didn't suddenly appear since the installation of 10.04
After running a df -h this the results i get:

Ubuntu :: ".ecryptfs" Is Eating Up HDD Space
Jan 7, 2011When I installed the system I went ahead and added the private/ecryptfs feature. However, I have never actively (or at least "awaringly") used it. I don't know if it is being used passively or if it contains any of my important data that I cannot already otherwise access.
There is also a problem with space constantly reducing. I'm losing HDD space and I'm not aware of what is causing it. I've tried clearing caches, tmp, things like that, disabling internet, not running applications that would tend to eat at the hard drives. But no luck. And the space free is being very weird. A few days ago I had 700M remaining on my "/" partition (it's a 19G (almost 20G) partition), then a day later I had several gigs free but I did nothing, then another day later it was back to 800M or 700M free. Something very fishy is going on here.
Regardless, my focus on this thread is that dang ".ecryptfs". Can I get rid of it *without* losing data? Disk usage analyzer, partition with a little over 19G: /home is using 20G ...somehow... (and on a 19G partition?!) weird. The main user account home is using 9.7G ...the ".ecryptfs" is using 10.2G. I really do not want that 10.2G to be used just for the sake of some shady ecrypt feature.

Slackware :: Disk Space Lost- Root Partition Has Very Little Space Left
Jan 31, 2010Today I was installing a lot of software since I'm just setting up my Slackware system again after a fresh install, and I realized that my root partition has very little space left.
Here is the output of df -h:
Code:
As you can see, I have a 20G (19G here for some reason) root partition, 8G /var, and 86G of /home. I thought this would be plenty since many recent recommendations for / are 10-15G. Now, though, 17G are used up for some reason! How is this possible? I thought a full slackware install only had about 4G of software! I don't have any music or movies or any crazy huge files that I know of, and those would be in my /home directory anyway. Is there any way I can see which files are taking up all this space?
If it's necessary to allocate more space to my / partition, is it still possible to boot up a GParted live Cd, shrink /home a bit, move some partitions to the right, and expand my root partition? I would REALLY prefer I don't have to reinstall since I just spent a ton of time setting up my system again, but if worst comes to worst ... :'-(
In case you're curious, here's my /etc/fstab:

Isn't it weired? How can I use the total amount of space in Linux? I need the whole 277GB exactly. What should be my workaround?

General :: Disk Utility And Df Show Different Disk Space ?
Nov 18, 2010I don't understand disk sizes in Linux. I have a 500GB drive. It's ext4. I have run "tune2fs -m 0" on it to reserve the amount of space reserved for root to 0.
I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 that comes with a Disk Utility. When I run "System->Administration->Disk Utility (palimpsest)" the disk shows up as 500GB (see picture). But when I run df -h it shows up as 459GB. So, I don't understand the discrepancy.
When I run df I get the following:

Ubuntu Installation :: Disk Space - Failes On A "E: Write Error - Write (28 No Space Left On Device)"
Jan 4, 2011df -h [URL] I did the following command to find everything is in /usr or /var, then tracked it down to /usr/lib and /usr/share as the main offenders, but out of all the directories none are more than 1mb or so.

I tried to uninstall firefox, which is what got me in this mess in the first place, the log claims it will remove ~240 mb but failes on a "E: Write error - write (28 No space left on device)" [URL] If I could juggle something onto an external hard drive so I can uninstall firefox I would be out of the wood. Failing that I believe a new install is in order.
Ubuntu :: Resize Entire /root (root.disk) Virtual Disk Space?
Jan 25, 2011I'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?

1. How do I delete Windows OS from my computer? It's a new computer so I am sure I want to delete and I did not download anything but a few things on it.
2. After I do that, how do I set Ubuntu so that it's not still at 10 GB of disk space.
Ubuntu :: My Disk Keeps Running Out Of Space
Apr 27, 2010A few days ago, I got a message that stated I had zero bytes of disk space left.Odd, I thought, but I had been doing video transcribing and thought that may be the issue.I moved a video (4 GB) off the hard drive to an external drive and then went about my business.This morning, I got the message again. I enclosed a screen shot. I moved a few more items off my hard drive - but then was soon out of space again. (Less than an hour later.)I logged in as root and poked around. I noticed that /var/archives had almost 60 GB of data in .tar.gz files.I moved them off to an external drive and am okay for now.

Ubuntu :: Extract ISO With Low Disk Space?
Jun 25, 2010I've got a slicehost VPS with 10GB disk space, and I'm trying to extract a 6.4gb ISO file. Between the ISO and the OS i've got just 761MB to play with. Is there anyway to extract files from within the ISO without needing another 6.4gb?
I've tried mounting the ISO as read/write so I could move files instead of copy, but did not have any luck. See here and here.
Should I just give up, download the iso, then re-upload the files? 6.4gb represents a long time over dsl.
Ubuntu :: Df Incorrect Disk Space ?

The result is the same with the graphical "Disk Usage Analyzer." However, Under System>Administration>Disk Utility the correct number is displayed.

Aug 26, 2010I recently got an error message about there being low disk space. Well I checked to make sure it was true.Went to Computer and right clicked on "File System" and clicked properties. It said I had 0 bytes. I restarted and got the same Low Disk Space error, this time saying I have 258.5MB of space left. So, what could the problem be? I remember having 11GB of space left. Could this be a problem with my HD since it's pretty old? Well not too old, I think I've had it since like 2003.
If this is in the wrong area, than please do move it to the right location. Oh and here's a pic of what I mean: I should add, that I'm not having any problems surfing the web or anything. It's not going slow at all.I installed a deb. file for google talk, could that be messing with my computer? I just noticed that when I check the file system, the free space is always different. I just checked a second ago and it's at 248MB or so. So yeah, I have no idea what's wrong.

May 7, 2011I have a dual boot system that only has about 6.5 GB of total file space for Ubuntu on the disk. Recently I upgraded to 11.04, and have had problems logging on and in downloading and installing programs. Occasionally I get messages that say available memory [edit: I meant disk space, not memory] is too low.
I see from the disk analyzer that a folder called tmp is very large. Can that file be safely deleted? Anything else to clean up and scavenge more space?

Aug 16, 2011My system just crashed with a message that the /tmp space was full, and now after rebooting I can't login to gnome.
I hit ALT-F1 to get to the command prompt and logged in and ran "df" and I noticed that my root partition is 100% full. /tmp is part of the root partition. I deleted everything in /tmp but it wasn't much stuff.
I have a separate partition for /boot and /home and a separate swap partition.
Can someone please help me get logged in again!? pretty please
It is a 12GB partition, that should be more than enough for the root partition...
At the time of the crash, I was playing with "incron" a utility which monitors the file system. It was supposed to act upon the creation of a new file in /media/Data (which is not part of the / partition). The action was that it should copy using rsync any new files in that location to a backup on another disk. I ended my statement with ";" because other statements in incrontab were ended that way... i wonder if it rsynced to my root partition because of that...?
General :: Ubuntu 10.04 Recurring Low Disk Space?
Sep 20, 2010I am running Ubuntu 10.04 on one 80GiB disk partitioned as two equal. The second one is mounted as my home folder. The reasons for the partitioning are historic and I don't think they're relevant here.
My problem is that Ubuntu frequently reports 'Low Disk Space'. The initial solution was to turn off backups and that seemed to ease the problem. Now it has started happening again, but backups are still turned off. I can't see anything unusual in the tmp directory - or anywhere come to that - but I don't really know where to look.
I have searched for known leaky problems but haven't found anything that seems to fit. I don't store images, videos or music.
