Hello,

I'm new to the list and new to RedHat. I am using RedHat 7.2 with the latest
kernel on a Compaq EVO workstation. I noticed this morning that the results
of a dh -k showed that my root partition is almost full:
1k blocs used available use%
mounted on
/dev/ida/c0d0p7 379303 340792 18928 95 /



I have looked everywhere, but cannot find any "large" files, any .tmp or .log files on /. My /boot directory is on a separate partition, so I know it's not previous versions of the kernel eating up space. The only thing

To get a sorted list of files (largest to smallest) located in your root (/) partition, type the following:


        du -akx / | sort -nr >/tmp/file-sort
        less /tmp/file-sort

I've found is in /root, where I have a file called .rhn-applet.cache. If I
do a ls -all in /root, I find this:

-rw-r--r-- 265969 root root .rhn-applet.cache

I think this is the culprit, but how do I delete or clear this cache? Any
suggestions?


Given the "rhn" prefix, looks like it maybe created by a redhat network daemon/tool?... but, that's a big guess. Also, it's only ~259 Kb in size, which doesn't explain where the other 332+ MB went. Therefor, you may want to look somewhere else.
