Root partition full

English Install/Boot/Login
1

My system was fine yesterday. I try to boot this morning and X crashes. I login to console and find my / partition full! There were close to 12GB free yesterday.

My system is setup withthese partitions /tmp and /home on a 1tb drive and / /usr and /var on a ssd.

I cant find anything on root that would account for the size increase. My root partition was usually in the 12GB range. Any ideas?

Sorry… 13.1 64bit…

So far I have not been impressed with 13.1. 12.3 was solid, 13.1 had only been problems.

Hi
Are you running btrfs per chance?

No, ext4.

This is the same install since 11.0 just keep rolling it up when a new release is available.

So I was able to get to XFC WM or whatever it’s called.
KDE isn’t able to load. I suspect this is due to the root partition being 100%. If it isn’t, than that is another issue.

here is df -h:


/dev/sdb1                      25G   25G     0 100% /
devtmpfs                      4.4G  8.0K  4.4G   1% /dev
tmpfs                         4.4G  2.7M  4.4G   1% /dev/shm

This issue is now resolved.

It was my mistake. I have an rsync script that runs to backup this machine, one of the paths was incorrect and it synced the information to the root partition… removed those files, back to normal. KDE now boots, and / is back to it’s normal 12GB size.

Thanks for listening. :slight_smile: lol

You have to find an utility you like for locating where is space used,
running in text mode. There is “du”, but I prefer Midnight Commander (mc).

Try:


du -hcsx /*
