Hi I recently did an auto install of R5A12 on my drive. The installed allocated about 3 gigs to the root partition on my 200G drive. This is probably enough but for some reason my root partition keeps filling up -- to 100% usage. I checked /var/log/message and /var/log/syslog (sp??) and they were both over 300MBs.. this is probably due to my attempts to get WIFI working etc... However, are there any other locations that might have information that I can delete? / seems a little bloated. Also, is there anything that I should do to limit the level of logging. Also at one point and tried (and failed ) to make a DVD via the Knoppmyth menus.. I had no idea what I was doing.. Could that have filled up my root partition? |

as root cd / du -h --max-depth=1 find what is using all the space. (don't worry about /cache or /mytht as they are different partitions) then move into that directory and repeat till you find what's filling all your space. my guess would be it's going to be under /var/log somewhere. once you find the directory you can use ls -lh to display a long listing with human readable filenames to figure out which files are the largest. Note: if you find a huge log file it is generally an indication of some problem. It is very difficult to open a 1Gb file, but you can use tail filename to see what is at the end and generally a large log file means some sort of repeated loop, so you should see what you need. |

Checked mine out too: Code: root@mythtv-backend-1:/var/log/mythtv# ls -arlt total 3984 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 34501 Apr 13 06:25 mythbackend.log.7 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 13419 Apr 14 06:25 mythbackend.log.6 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 3956120 Apr 15 06:25 mythbackend.log.5 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 13107 Apr 16 06:25 mythbackend.log.4 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 22577 Apr 17 06:25 mythbackend.log.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 2452 Apr 18 06:25 mythbackend.log.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 4854 Apr 19 06:25 mythbackend.log.1 drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Apr 19 06:25 . drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4096 Apr 19 06:32 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 3195 Apr 19 10:46 mythbackend.log Lots of entries of this nature in the .5 file: Code: [mpeg2video @ 0xb7861010]00 motion_type at 3 0
