So obviously, I have Gnome desktop installed! At this point, I would like to pause and state that I am not a total idiot, (I actually been involved with technoloy for about 20 years, just not with Linux!!), however, I can offer no explanation on how I installed my SMB server with a GUI and forgot!! I wonder what you have in your /opt directory? Units = cylinders of 2048 * 512 = 1048576 bytesĭon't know why I thought I had a 5 gig, however AlanBartlett's comment: Your question answered my problem, the output of fdisk -l is as ~]$ fdisk -lĢ55 heads, 63 sectors/track, 789 cylinders Also, since your / partition is an LVM volume, perhaps there is more space available in the volume group? Output from `vgdisplay` would help answer that too. So are you sure there is no space available on that first disk? The output of `fdisk -l` might help. Where is your / partition located? You said it's on a 5GB disk but I've never heard of such a thing - common sizes were 4GB, 6.4GB and 9GB and you have to go back a long way to find one of those (though I guess P-III 933MHz are of the same vintage as that sort of size disk). I will try to answer everyone's questions even though I have found the answer already, here we go: Installing package VMware-server-2.0.2-203138.i386 needs 233MB on the / filesystemĭoes anyone have any suggestions on how I can clean up about 300 MB more of disk space?įirst, Wow! Thanks for all of the responses! Sorry about the delay in my reply, I have been sick with a lung infection for the last week, (the joy's of living in Montreal, low crime, because it's too bloody cold for even criminals!!!). I have gone through /var/cache and and /var/log and deleted anything that I felt would not break my OS by deleting, I did not touch /usr yet, (I want to do more research before tampering there!!), but I am still getting this VM Ware]$ rpm -ivh VMware-server-2.0.
Going into my /usr and running du -max-depth=1 -x -h / gives me usr]$ du -max-depth=1 -x -h / \Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on I have tried to check my disk space usage with the following commands: (output df -h Since I am planing to rebuild my file server with larger hard drives, (2 x's 60 gig SATA's set to RAID 1, 6 x's 1.5 TB at RAID 5), within the next 2 months, I would like to try to clean out any unneeded crap rather than adding a hard drive and expanding my root file system. My problem is that I have run out of space on my / (root) file system, (the 5 gig).
First my system specs:Ĥ x 500 gig hds w/ 3Ware 7500 controller set to RAID 5, (1.5 TB) mounted as /home I have a problem that is probably simple, but have not yet found the answer on any forums or by Googling.
