However, I can try to let it run longer. > Continuing, having now let du command run longer, here is what I get: # du -sch /* 4.0K /afs 11M /bin 160M /boot 0 /dev 57M /etc 26G /home 0 /initrd.img 0 /initrd.img.old 576M /lib 4.0K /live-build 16K /lost+found 4.5T /media 4.0K /mnt 1.1G /opt du: cannot access ‘/proc/19131/task/19131/fd/3’: No such file or directory du: cannot access ‘/proc/19131/task/19131/fdinfo/3’: No such file or directory du: cannot access ‘/proc/19131/fd/3’: No such file or directory du: cannot access ‘/proc/19131/fdinfo/3’: No such file or directory 0 /proc 2.2M /root du: cannot access ‘/run/user/1000/gvfs’: Permission denied 12M /run 22M /sbin 8.0K /srv 0 /sys 91M /tmp 13G /usr 1.6G /var 0 /vmlinuz 0 /vmlinuz.old 4.5T total Looks like something in /usr takes up most of the drive. So to continue our investigation: # du -sch /usr/* 644M /usr/bin 836K /usr/games 247M /usr/include 5.3G /usr/lib 144K /usr/local 45M /usr/sbin 6.1G /usr/share 157M /usr/src 13G total - where I find that /usr/lib and /usr/share take up the most. I don't think you really want to read the whole list for these folders. Thus here are the items that take up the most space. Most look pretty innocuous: 1.6G /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu but in /usr/lib at the end I get 5.3G total - but nothing else is more than a few kb or mb. The same thing happens when I look in /usr/share; the biggest item is: 1.9G /usr/share/doc - and nothing else takes up more than a few kb or mb, yet at the end I get: 6.1G total Bill > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: > trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional > commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list > messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ > Please remember not to top-post: > http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: trinity-users-unsubscribe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx For additional commands, e-mail: trinity-users-help@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Read list messages on the web archive: http://trinity-users.pearsoncomputing.net/ Please remember not to top-post: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/#top-posting
