Re: 100% used / file system. Help!

[lina <lina.lastname@gmail.com>]

Sorry I have a quasi-problem with her, so hope won't mind I following my questions here,

My / partition is also on the edge of saturation.

But how do I know which files are in / partition? 

the /tmp /var are on other partitions. This is for sure.

/ != /root
correct?

root@debian:/home/lina# cd /
root@debian:/# ls
bin   etc         lib    lost+found  proc  sbin     srv  usr
boot  home        lib32  media       root  scratch  sys  var
dev   initrd.img  lib64  mnt         run   selinux  tmp  vmlinuz


Thanks,

hi lisi,

log if possible in as root and clean up (with the commandline, maybe one of the rm (-r) commands, tricky business) the / file. it should be working again.

kind regards and goodluck,
