| Post subject: | Partition full |
I installed RE50 on a new system with a single 300G drive. During the install it partitioned a very small section for linux and the rest for myth media. My linux partition keeps getting full and crashing the whole system. I have deleted everything I can think of, but it just keeps filling up! I would like to take back a little of the myth partition to give to the linux partition, but don't know how. I would appreciate any help. Also, any thoughts as to why I keep filling up? Thanks! |

Is this a combined backend/frontend, frontend only, something else? Did you perform an auto install, or did you manually partition the drive? What have you deleted? Lastly, what are you seeing in the various logs in /var/log and the sub-directories therein?
Thanks! Basically, whatever information you can provide about your installation/setup will help... |

It is a combo frontend/backend, and I did the auto setup and let it decide how to make the partitions. I have just deleted some of the tar'd downloads for things like lirc, the LCD server, and the linux source. I haven't checked the logs yet, but I will shortly. |

It sounds like there may be a recurrent error filling up you logs. Check out /var/log for large files, check them out for what the error may be so you can fix it, then erase the old oversized files to reclaim disk space. |

We need more details... - How big is "small", my root partition is too big at ~20Gb, but even though it's using less than 3Gb at the moment, I would consider anything under 6Gb unwise. - What does it show if you run Code: df -m
df -i du -m / | sort -n | tail -50 The more/better diagnostic info you provide the better answer you'll be likely to get. |

As far as I could tell those logs looked like raw database info...?? How big is giant? And what are the filenames?On my R5D1 system I only see ASCII text files in /var/log/mysql, named mysql.err[.X.gz] and mysql.log[.X.gz]. The files ending in .gz are gzipped (compressed), so you can't read them directly. Try zcat <filename> | more. I'm guessing you will find a bunch of errors in these files.

I was going to ask the same about the /usr/src directory. It doesn't even show up in my top 50... |
