Hello,
I am new to Debian. I have Wheezy installed on my Thinkpad x230 laptop. My kernel is 3.2.0-4-amd64. The problem I am getting is that my "/" directory is 100% full. Because of this, I am unable to update my kernel as I get an insufficient space error. However, my hard disk has almost 300 GiB free. When I tried to run lvxtend to expand the / directory, I get an "Insufficient free space: 256 extents needed, but only 0 available" error. The filesystem is ext4 and I am using an encrypted LVM. Some more detail can be found in these outputs: The problem: root@debian:/# lvextend -L +1G /dev/mapper/debian-root Incorrect metadata area header checksum on /dev/sda1 at offset 4096 Extending logical volume root to 1.32 GiB Insufficient free space: 256 extents needed, but only 0 available Some tests: root@debian:/# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on rootfs 322M 321M 0 100% / udev 10M 0 10M 0% /dev tmpfs 367M 816K 366M 1% /run /dev/mapper/debian-root 322M 321M 0 100% / tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock tmpfs 734M 84K 734M 1% /run/shm /dev/sda1 228M 19M 197M 9% /boot /dev/mapper/debian-home 275G 59G 203G 23% /home /dev/mapper/debian-tmp 368M 11M 339M 3% /tmp /dev/mapper/debian-usr 8.3G 5.3G 2.6G 68% /usr /dev/mapper/debian-var 2.8G 679M 2.0G 26% /var root@debian:/# pvdisplay Incorrect metadata area header checksum on /dev/sda1 at offset 4096 --- Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/dm-0 VG Name debian PV Size 297.85 GiB / not usable 2.00 MiB Allocatable yes (but full) PE Size 4.00 MiB Total PE 76249 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 76249 PV UUID NKMEex-9pcW-QMSi-dKEX-5XOI-nBXc-glrtNz "/dev/sda1" is a new physical volume of "243.00 MiB" --- NEW Physical volume --- PV Name /dev/sda1 VG Name PV Size 243.00 MiB Allocatable NO PE Size 0 Total PE 0 Free PE 0 Allocated PE 0 PV UUID a1KkXm-XB4C-o5SH-jnHz-BdZJ-u8v3-LscZ7W root@debian:/# mount sysfs on /sys type sysfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) proc on /proc type proc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) udev on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,relatime,size=10240k,nr_inodes=467547,mode=755) devpts on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,gid=5,mode=620,ptmxmode=000) tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,noexec,relatime,size=375388k,mode=755) /dev/mapper/debian-root on / type ext4 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro,user_xattr,barrier=1,stripe=4,data="">tmpfs on /run/lock type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=5120k) tmpfs on /run/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,size=750760k) /dev/sda1 on /boot type ext2 (rw,relatime,errors=continue) /dev/mapper/debian-home on /home type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data="">/dev/mapper/debian-tmp on /tmp type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,stripe=4,data="">/dev/mapper/debian-usr on /usr type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data="">/dev/mapper/debian-var on /var type ext4 (rw,relatime,user_xattr,barrier=1,data="">rpc_pipefs on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw,relatime) binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime) The problem appears to be the "Free PE 0" from some research that I did online. I want to know how I can fix this issue so that I can then use lvextend to increase the size of the root directory. What is a recommended value for the size of this directory? I used the defaults suggested by the partition manager during installation, but it is clearly insufficient as seen above. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Sumant |
