Re: Disk Space Issues



Depends. Best case, you built your system using LVM and have reserved space. You can check this using the df command. If your filesystems start with /dev/mapper, then you are using LVM. You can check for free space using the vgdisplay command (as root):

# vgdisplay
...Snip...
  Alloc PE / Size       96637 / 377.49 GiB
  Free  PE / Size       80065 / 312.75 GiB

The free PE/Size line shows you the available space. You could then extend the filesystem that is having issues:

# lvextend -L+10G /dev/VG00/foo

If you are using standard hard drive partitions (/dev/sda1, /dev/sdb2, etc), then you have to do it the old school way.

Using a tool like df, find a directory tree that is large enough that moving it off of the filesystem would make a difference, then copy it to a partition with more space, then symlink it back to its original location.

This is an older and uglier way to do it as you could, over time wind up with a bunch of these symlinks all over your hard drive.
