Root drive full - what next?
Posted: Thu Mar 22, 2018 4:23 pm
Hello
After running Amahi 6 for a number of years, the machine died. I built a new server and installed Amahi 10 on Fedora 25, deciding to use Greyhole rather than RAID.
I moved the landing zone for some of the shares to one of the large storage drives, but didn't get around to moving them all. Lo and behold SWMBO decided to put large quantities of data into one of the other shares, and now I have an unresponsive machine.
The dashboard displays the "The dashboard has encountered an exception" page, and logging in using PuTTy, df -h gives:
# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
devtmpfs 1.9G 0 1.9G 0% /dev

/dev/sda1 2.7T 933G 1.7T 36% /var/hda/files/drives/WD2
/dev/sdc5 17G 49M 17G 1% /home
/dev/sdb1 2.7T 1.4T 1.3T 52% /var/hda/files/drives/WD1
none 4.0M 0 4.0M 0% /var/spool/greyhole/mem
tmpfs 383M 0 383M 0% /run/user/1000
The root drive is totally full.
The question is how do I find what has filled it and remove it? I am a totally inexperienced Linux user.
Any help or suggestions gratefully received.
Regards
Ian
