I'm not too concerned, but my root partition is getting more full then I I think it should be. It brings up several questions I have:
I have three partitions on my hard drive, they look like: /dev/hda1 1510032 318196 1115128 23% / /dev/hda2 10120052 2139384 7466588 23% /home /dev/hda3 6854808 2502428 4004172 39% /usr I allocated a lot of space for my / partition, but this seems like its getting more full then it should be. I also assume that this means that the following directories are contained in /dev/hda1 (mounted on /): bin dev lib misc opt root tmp boot etc initrd lost+found proc sbin var (these are all the directories except /home and /usr). Doing a quick du -s on these directories tells me the following: [root@sierra /]#du -s bin dev lib misc opt root tmp boot etc initrd lost+found proc sbin var 5624 bin 272 dev 71668 lib 4 misc 1616 opt 852 root 121660 tmp 3652 boot 8232 etc 4 initrd 16 lost+found 14 proc 8868 sbin 65640 var Which tells me that my culprits are /lib /tmp and /var I'm not sure what's in /lib and /var, but /tmp holds a bunch of temporary sound files, dvi files, pdf files and the like. I assume these are put here when loading with netscape or something. So, now my questions: - Is my thinking correct (I'm slowly learning about how everything fits together). - Can I just delete the /tmp files? If yes, will these files delete themselves if I don't do anything about them? - Why aren't these files put into my home directory /home/username ?
