This is such a classic problem that I hesitate to raise the question. The df below shows that the usual suspects for root partition being full are broken out. The / partition is 500 Mb. In the past I have only used about 50 Mb.
# df Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on rootfs 474440 474440 0 100% / udev 10240 0 10240 0% /dev tmpfs 830924 1572 829352 1% /run /dev/disk/by-uuid/d3a2... 474440 474440 0 100% / /dev/sdb5 48062440 10165348 35455616 23% /home /dev/sdb6 28834716 4261020 23108972 16% /usr /dev/sdb7 38448276 2372784 34122392 7% /var /dev/sdb8 19228276 994260 17257268 6% /tmp /dev/sdb9 38448276 12808004 23687172 36% /usr/local /dev/sdb12 96124904 11577356 79664596 13% /info /dev/sdb13 192243928 58177436 124300984 32% /storage I verified that root is indeed full by trying to copy a file to it. I ran: # find / -type f -size +100M -exec ls -lh {} \; | awk '{ print $9 ": " $5 }' All files that were over 100 Mb were located in broken out directories except this: /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/0000:01:00.0/resource1: 256M /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:06.0/0000:01:00.0/resource1_wc: 256M This is peculiar and a suspicious size. So I go its directory to verify: # ls -la | grep resource1 -rw------- 1 root root 268435456 Jul 29 08:13 resource1 -rw------- 1 root root 268435456 Jul 29 08:13 resource1_wc but: # file resource1 resource1: ERROR: cannot read `resource1' (Input/output error) I ran $ du -h on all the directories mounted on / and not broken out, and their total came to 350 Mb. This strikes me as big, but still is not greater than the partition size. Haines -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
