This server is inherited to me from last admin. ~# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 19G 14G 3.5G 81% / varrun 2.0G 76K 2.0G 1% /var/run varlock 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /var/lock udev 2.0G 88K 2.0G 1% /dev devshm 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm /dev/sdb5 93G 59G 27G 69% /mnt/backup /dev/mapper/main-usr 15G 601M 14G 5% /usr /dev/mapper/main-var 30G 1.7G 27G 6% /var /dev/mapper/main-db 69G 9.5G 56G 15% /var/lib/postgresql /dev/sdc1 68G 35G 30G 55% /home/archive ~# du --max-dep 1 -c -hx / 4.2M /etc 36M /tftpboot 16K /lost+found 3.8G /tmp 18M /boot 1.4G /home 8.0K /mnt 12K /media 254M /root 4.0K /var 4.0K /srv 0 /sys 4.0K /initrd 77M /lib 0 /proc 4.0K /opt 4.0K /usr 6.4M /sbin 3.5M /bin 0 /dev 5.5G / 5.5G total Last week, I was alarmed that / root is 98 percent full. but I could not find any reason why server is full. and a restart freed 8 gig of space. but now it is again getting full slowly. Any comment? best wishes Platoali
