Hello,
I have a weird thing going on. Recently our tmp reported that it was full and X stopped functioning, checking the disk usage we found out that root partition is full. But actually it isn't.
du reports
6.8M /bin 5.2M /boot 339K /dev 19M /etc 1.9G /home 1.0K /initrd 41M /lib 12K /lost+found 763M /misc 3.0K /mnt 1.3M /opt 1.0K /proc 4.6M /root 14M /sbin 29K /tftpboot 0 /tmp 5.0K /tmpsave 2.7G /usr 350M /var
where / usage is less than 90mb and / partition is 500 mb itself. But still df reports :
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda5 505605 490003 0 100% / /dev/hda1 101089 9379 86491 10% /boot /dev/hda3 9716828 1928996 7294236 21% /home none 127092 0 127092 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda2 26589228 2802552 22436012 12% /usr /dev/hda6 1027768 396872 578688 41% /var //sinclair/benjamin$ 78172160 5611520 72560640 8% /misc/backup
We run fsck to make sure no disk errors present, rebooted several times to make sure open files are closed but still can't fixed the problem. I moved root and tmp directory to another partition creating symlinks, which enable me to run X again.
Any ideas how to resolve this problem and regain 400MB back?
