Hello again,
Through df I realized my / partiotion is out of space:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ad0s1a 198126 196070 -13794 108% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/ad0s1e 44511308 4217762 36732642 10% /usr
/dev/ad0s1d 30462636 3210580 24815046 11% /var
devfs 1 1 0 100% /var/named/dev
/dev/da0s1c 75685352 34308200 35322324 49% /mnt/usbck
How can I determine what occupies the space in it? That is, it is not
big as you can see. So I issued:
du -hs /
but it was taking ages (I am not sure but maybe du -hs counts all
directories on the HD?
Anyway, I do not really know where to look what has eaten the / space.
Were it for /usr or /var, it would be obvious to me where to look for
information.
Many thanks!
I don't see you have defined a /tmp partition. Perhaps /tmp is taking up
all the space. Try:
du -h /tmp
and see how much /tmp is taking up.
du -hs /tmp
1.4M /tmp
du -hs /
40GB
One thing that comes to my mind. Each Sunday I have a script which
makes a full dump of the HD to a back-up USB drive. Last weekend
someone cleaining the computer room, must have accidentally powered
off the USB drive. As a result, the dump has not been completed
because the USB drive was not mounted at that time. I use cron for
this task. Does it matter could have caused this?
If the '-L' switch is used (telling dump it is dumping a live file system)
it will first dump everything into a .snap directory before performing the
dump. What does:
du -hs /.snap
give for a result?
