Ubuntu No Space Left On Device Error
10.04, df reports the following: # df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sda1 7.4G 7.0G 0 100% / none 498M 160K 498M 1% /dev none 500M 0 500M 0% /dev/shm none 500M 92K 500M 1% /var/run none 500M 0 500M 0% /var/lock none 500M 0 500M 0% /lib/init/rw /dev/sda3 917G 305G 566G 36% /home This is puzzling me for two reasons: 1.) df says that /dev/sda1, mounted at /, has a 7.4 gigabyte capacity, of which only 7.0 gigabytes linux inodes full are in use, yet it reports / being 100 percent full; and 2.) I can create files on / so it clearly does have space left. Possibly relevant is that the directory /www is a symbolic link to /home/www, which is on a different partition (/dev/sda3, mounted at /home). Can anyone offer suggestions on what might be going on here? The server appears to be working without issue, but I want to make sure there's not a problem with the partition table, file systems or something else which might result in implosion (or explosion) later. linux ubuntu partition share|improve this question asked Sep 24 '11 at 20:31 Chris 126123 Thanks to all for the helpful answers. I can't create files as a normal user so it does appear that it's the 5 percent buffer that's preventing catastrophe. Now I just need to figure out why the disk is full (I'm a bit worried something malicious could be going on because none of the log files is taking up that much space and there's not much software installed, just a simple LAMP server)... –Chris Sep 25 '11 at 9:16 3 First place I'd look is /tmp. Another possibility is that you have a deleted file that a running program is holding on to. I think you can run 'lsof | grep deleted' as root to find those. –Scott Sep 29 '11 at 17:53 add a comment| 7 Answers 7 active oldest
