I assume you’re looking for help on this. If that’s the case stating what
you have tried or observed may be useful. As it is you have no space left
in /var which is almost definitely your problem. Considering the amount
of space allotted to /var that probably means you’ve either done something
in there on purpose (created a big MySQL database or something) or you
have a whole lot of errors being written in there for one reason or
another. Find where the space is actually used in the /var directory
structure and clean it up, or at least ask about it so you know how to
best clean it up.
du -h /var
Good luck.

Sorry, was in a bit of a hurry to get to class, so just posted the information above. Here is what I’ve found, and I’d look to know if I can safely delete these files.
Drilling down into the file structure, the folder containing the majority of the space usage is as follows:
There are other ways to get answers than through here you know. I thought it was cleared when I added ‘not through here obviously’ at the end of the message… Guess not.
My problem is the EXACT same as his… Hence why I didn’t start a new thread.
Basicaly, device is out of space and most of the space is taken by /var/lib/YaST2/you/mnt/x86_64/update/SUSE-CORE/9/rpm/x86_64/. Can that space be safely deleted? … EXACTLY like he asked…
Sorry, I forgot to quote the message I was replying to :shame: Although, there are other ways to get answers than through here hence why I added ‘not through here’.
I was replying to the message just above mine. Basically, my disk (/var partition actually) has ran out of space and most of the space is taken by

What version of openSUSE do you have? That /9/ in the directory chain looks as
if this is left over from SuSE 9. Have you done updates since then?
In any case, my openSUSE 11.1 system, which was a clean install, does not have a
directory /var/lib/YaST2/you. There should be no problems if you ‘rm -rf
/var/lib/YaST2/you’.
