Disappearing Hard Drive Space

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,

Khurram Khurshid

1) deleting file using remove() call
2) no other hard link for the file
3) tried to close file descriptor using following scripts then remove() call
-------
for fd in $(ls /proc/$$/fd); do
case "$fd" in
0|1|2|255)
;;
*)
eval "exec $fd>&-"
;;
esac
done
-------

But space not freed

4) I tried with truncate() and then remove() call Now files deleted and space freed

Is it the only and right way to do this?

I remember there is this record that the OS uses to keep track of each file. and if this file runs out of space then we would get this error. but i can't recall the name of it or how to fix it. I think it is called inodes or something like that?

are you guys famaliar with what I am talking about?

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 !!!

Hello,

I am performing work on a particularly large set of files (around 5GB in total). I get the message: error writing temporary file: No space left on device when trying to run my script and presume it's because of the 2GB limit on my tmp folder.

How do either:

a) increase the size of my tmp folder
b) tell my process to use another folder instead of tmp?

Was running Windows 8.1 Pro till it got sick and died. I managed to install Ubuntu 14.04 on my sick computer over Windows wiping it out.

I first installed Linux Mint and downloaded Ubuntu. Somehow I was able to verify checksums or MD5Sums. I think my age is catching up with me and my mind doesn't work like it used to.

How do I find the MD5sum of a downloaded iso file. I've downloaded debian-7.8.0-amd64-DVD-1-3.iso's and both update DVD's as well. I've located the MD5Sum files on the Mirror. Now, how do I compare those numbers/letters with the iso's I've downloaded.

I know I need to run a program to compute the MD5 but can't find it in the menu. I see I need to read man pages and info pages, but can't find them either.

A brain is a terrible thing to waste, but mine needs help.

Thanks,
Stephen

Guys i think this is a pretty common problem but i am facing it and i am unable to find a solution (

So here is what happened. I performed dual booting into through Xubuntu10.4 and this will happen because i wanted to increase the memory of my Xubuntu platform.

I removed some space from my C drive and with the free space, i created another partition which then causes this problem.

This is the image...

I've setup a NFS4 file share on an usb drive on a server at home for my personal use. Both client and server use Debian stable (3.2.0-4-amd64). I followed the tutorial he

http://initrd.org/wiki/NFS_Setup

My setup seems to work fine if I mount it manually, just won't mount at bootup. Looking around online I see that this has been a common and long-standing problem- evidently the system tries to mount the NFS before the network is up.

I found a work-around- add this line to the /etc/rc.local file:

Code:

mount -a -t nfs4

Now it works, but of course I still have to wait for the initial timeout (60 seconds?) and a few more for this to work.

I find this really odd. Lots of online discussion about this for many years going. What is the real story on this? Is there some configuration setting that I (and many others) have simply missed?

BTW- many of the solutions I see online are old, won't work with NFS4, or are OS specific.

thanks,
