Hi all,

Please pardon my newbie-ness on this issue....I've a / partition which is full (quite suddenly, actually) and I'm not sure how to fix this.

I've searched for uneeded logs, etc in /var/log and /tmp to no avail. The system is CentOS 5.2 and is not connected to the internet, serves as a local LAN server running stock stuff...sendmail, dovecot, apache..nothing strange or special going on.

I have additional HDDs available if growing the partition is in order (would appreciate pointers to that, if applicable), but I'm really stumped as to where the space is being eaten up.

Thanks in advance,

My layout is:

#df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
                     131G  130G     0 100% /
/dev/sdc1             271G  156G  102G  61% /home
/dev/sdd1             271G  4.5G  253G   2% /home/905
/dev/sda1              99M   29M   66M  31% /boot
tmpfs                 442M     0  442M   0% /dev/shm



# cat /etc/fstab
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/home/905 /home/905 ext3 defaults 1 2 LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2 tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0



# cat /etc/mtab
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 / ext3 rw 0 0

tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0
sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0

I'm working myself out of one those unhappy situations right now. The way I always start is to pick some arbitrary value of file size, larger than which there will (or should) be a very small number of files and then:
# find / -size +2G -print
...which will present me with a list of candidates for removal.
