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
