Post subject: | full slash partition |
This machine has been running for a month now and the /partition reached 99%. I have the os running in either a 120 gb ssd I have 4 6 tb drives for media storage. Is there an easy way to clean the drive? What suggestions do you have? |

How much space is allocated to the root partition (/)? This is my output for Code: df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on dev 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev run 3.9G 504K 3.9G 1% /run /dev/sda1 4.5G 3.4G 921M 79% / shm 3.9G 0 3.9G 0% /dev/shm /dev/sda7 437G 135G 302G 31% /data/storage/disk0 /dev/sda5 13G 5.3G 6.7G 45% /home /dev/sda6 4.5G 196M 4.1G 5% /data/srv/mysql I've had linhe s for about 5 years with this machine. If your root partition is at 99% after a month then something is wrong. Have you checked your logs? |

I found this forum post. viewtopic.php?f=21&t=23668&start=15 where you can use this code to figure out where the hard drive space is being eaten up. Code: du -hx -d 1 / 2>/dev/null Also some tips on how to increase your drive space. |

Follow mattbatt's advice. As you can see from my post, the root partition is only 4.5 GB on my machine and it is only 79% full. For yours to be 99% full on a 40 GB means that something is using a lot of storage that it shouldn't be. |

I have had issues with my root partition before. I started using the following command to identify the specific files eating up space. You can change "head -n 10" to whatever file minimum number of files you are looking for (example "head -n 25" for top 25 files). Also, you can exclude certain root folders (or symbolics) by using -not -path... find / -type f -not -path "/mnt/*" -not -path "/data/*" -exec du -Sh {} + | sort -rh | head -n 10 |
