Then an error dialog/message popped up that the disk (root partition) was full, the dialog had two buttons (examine - starts baobab and skip/cancel). At first I tried to find any big files (du didn't help, showed that only 8GB of 20GB was used). Long story short, googled a bit about why df and du might disagree and someone recommended lsof | grep deleted. depmod (i think) had created a file and deleted it then kept writing to it filling up my root partition. In the end I had to kill it, because it just kept writing to it even when I zeroed out that deleted file. Here's a log (shortened) of what I typed in the console: root@localhost:/# lsof | grep deleted | grep depmod depmod 8673 root 3w REG 8,1 14525296640 676388 /lib/modules/3.2.0-54-generic/modules.ccwmap (deleted) root@localhost:/# cd /proc/8673/fd root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# ll -h | grep ccwmap l-wx------ 1 root root 64 sep 28 16:52 3 -> /lib/modules/3.2.0-54-generic/modules.ccwmap (deleted) root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# > 3 root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# df -h | grep sda1 /dev/sda1 22G 9,3G 12G 45% / root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# lsof | grep deleted | grep depmod depmod 8673 root 3w REG 8,1 27424661504 676388 /lib/modules/3.2.0-54-generic/modules.ccwmap (deleted) root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# df -h | grep sda1 /dev/sda1 22G 22G 0 100% / root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# > 3 root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# df -h | grep sda1 /dev/sda1 22G 8,8G 13G 42% / root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# df -h | grep sda1 /dev/sda1 22G 11G 11G 49% / root@localhost:/proc/8673/fd# pkill depmod Seems I'm not the only one who's seen this issue with kernel updates: http://askubuntu.com/questions/157740/updating-to-linux-image-3-2-0-26 -generic-occupies-all-disk-space --- AlsaVersion: Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.24.
