Need Larger Tmp Space - Error Writing Temporary File: No Space Left On Device

I was trying to do an update using Update Manager and I got the error message:

No space left on device), E:IO Error saving source cache, E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.

I have attached a copy of my disk usage and it shows root as 100%. I thought that I had put the Home folder on it's own partition but I guess not.

I have also included the results of the ls -l command but fail to see what is using the space.

I am using LinuxMint Linux version 3.11-2-amd64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc version 4.8.1 (Debian 4.8.1-10) ) #1 SMP Debian 3.11.8-1 (2013-11-13)

Thanks for your help in advance.

Dear gurus,

I am using NAS with Linux BizNAS-02H5 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.54-2 x86_64 GNU/Linux OS version.

I am facing problem with rootfs / , it is 100% full, its total size is 9.7GB.

Now i want to increase the space of rootfs, i have free space on attached drives, both partioned and unpartioned space is free,

How can I mount space on root folder or ( / ) folder.

Regards,

In Windows, when a folder is right clicked, I can see the number of files and folders in that folder and the detailed size of the total of files and folders down to the byte. In Linux Mint when I do the same thing in the default file manager, it gives me a total nunber of "Items" and a size rounded to xx.x GB. Is there a file manager that will give me the same information as Windows does, or another way to get that information?

I'm running Xubuntu and it was a challenge just getting Copy.com on there. (I installed the desktop app on both of my computers.) Now that I have it though, I don't really know how to use it.

I know this is kind of more a Copy.com question, but I don't know anything about Copy.com (besides having it--lol) and besides, I like you LQ guys.

So yeah, I installed the desktop app for Copy.com on both of my computers. I know that if I put something in the Copy folder that will be available to both computers.

But how Copy does the backing up I don't know.

When I change a file or folder do I have to plop that into the Copy folder every time or does Copy somehow update the file or folder in the Copy folder automatically? (It doesn't seem to.)

Okay, when I, say, take the Documents folder from one computer and plop it into the Copy folder that's that. Then I take the Documents folder from the other computer and plop that into the Copy folder, then all the files from both folders will be in the Copy folder (and the Copy cloud), right?

Now I just removed a couple of files from a folder and copied and pasted the folder into the Copy folder. But then when I looked at the Copy folder the files I'd deleted were still there. What's the process? How does it work?

I mean, how does this work as a way of backing things up AND organizing things? To me it seems like a decent way of throwing stuff into the Copy folder (and cloud), but how is that different than Google Drive? I mean, that's not really a backup, is it? It's like a flash drive in the cloud.

And when I combined the same folders (with the same titles anyway, but they each had different files within them) from the two computers I'd expected each folder on each computer to have all the same files that were cumulatively on both. Instead, they're the same. And the cumulative is only on the Copy folder.

I like the notion of just throwing the folders and files into the Copy folder. It's much quicker than Google Drive. But the backing up feature eludes me and the syncing feature makes me fearful that I'll lose data or that the files will become hopelessly less organized.

Thanks.

Trying to upgrade I get the following message "The upgrade needs a total of 913 M free space on disk '/'. Please free at least an additional 525 M of disk space on '/'. Empty your trash and remove temporary packages of former installations using 'sudo apt-get clean". I went to the terminal and entered sudo apt-get clean. I have used Gparted to re-size each of of the partitions on the Linux side of my machine but I still get the message. What should I do?

I installed slacko puppy on an old laptop. works great from the usb but will not boot from the hd. I tried the grub5dos bootloader config but got an error at the end that said
/usr/sbin/grub4dosconfig
version 1.9.1

Writing... /mnt/sda1/menu.lst
/usr/sbin/grub4dosconfig: line 1479: echo: write error: No space left on device
Failed to make 'menu.lst'.

Is their an easy to understand tutorial for this. I am not very tech savvy, so a guide for idiots would help.

Hi all. I am tweaking my php.ini file and I do not understand the bolded text below...

http://phpsec.org/projects/phpsecinf...d_tmp_dir.html
Quote:
upload_tmp_dir

Test Description
Checks if the current upload_tmp_dir is a world readable or writable folder, and if it matches the common UNIX system temp directory.

Security Implications
upload_tmp_dir allows you to specify where uploaded files should be saved until the handling script moves them to a more permanent location. If this file is within the document root of the web site and/or accessible to system users other than PHP's user, it could be modified or overwritten while PHP is processing it. By default upload_tmp_dir is set to the system's standard temporary directory, which can typically be accessed by all system users.

Recommendations
Set upload_tmp_dir to a folder that is:
- outside the document root of your web site
- not readable or writable by any other system users

You can set upload_tmp_dir in the php.ini file:

; Set upload_tmp_dir to a safe location
upload_tmp_dir = /var/www/foo.bar/sessions

The setting can also be applied in apache's httpd.conf file, or an .htaccess file:

# Set upload_tmp_dir to a safe location
php_value upload_tmp_dir /var/www/foo.bar/sessions

Questions:
1.) What does the bolded text mean, and how do I do that?

**NOTE: I don't have VPS Root access, and am hoping this can be done using my regular account via SSH.

2.) Where would be a safe place to put these temporary files?

Sincerely,


Rob

I have a shell script to find folders which are 25 days older and delete it, and put the deleted folder details into log file like this

Code:

 find /ahome/xxx/$FOLDER -type d -mtime +25  -exec ls -ld {} \;  -exec rm -rf {} \;  >> mylogfile.log

after running this command it deletes the folder and logs the folder deleted. But also print error msg
Code:

find: /ahome/prksh/dir/test: No such file or directory

How to suppress the error msg

I was copying the contents of a flash drive to a folder. In the middle of it I got an error message:

'Error splicing file: input/output error'

and then it said 'do you want to skip or retry?' And the "all" button was there too. Anyway, I skipped. When I checked the folder, all my data seemed to be there.

Do you think it was?

I mean, what are the implications of the error message and of my "skipping" it?

Next up, when I looked at the contents of my flash drive all the folders and files have a lock icon on them. I can open the files but I can't edit them. And no, the lock switch on my flash drive is not pressed.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

I have a RHEL 5.3 machine with the following partitions and free space:

Free space on the partitions
/ : 74GB
/boot : 81MB
/var : 73GB
/home : 37GB
/icat : 758MB
/opt : 1.5GB

Now is it possible to allot a free space of some other partitions to /opt? I want around 100 GB more space on /opt. Thus, if it is possible I could move 50GB from /var and /20 GB from /home to /opt. This can make at least 70 GB space available.
What are other possible ways to increase space on /opt?
Thanks in advance !!!
