How to clean up root partition?

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Greetings -

I have a Dell PE2600 running RHEL3 fully up to date. I noticed recently after performing some software updates that my root partition is getting full (83% used, see below). I am a novice linux system administrator and am wondering what commands could be used to identify the files are located just on this partition, and more specifically trying to identify orphaned files/programs that are no longer being used that can be removed to free up some space? I recently updated Dell's OMSA software from 4.5 to 5.0 and suspect that some of the 4.5 files have been left on the system due to a failure in part of the update process. I also have my up2date system set to enable rollbacks, and have retained several of the previous kernel versions on my system following updates. If these types of things are filling that partition, I would like suggestions on how safely remove them or clean up the partition. Thanks.
