Disk space warning in Disk /dev/root (/var/named/chroot/var/run/dbus) Urgent Help!

rajking · #1 01-29-2010, 10:06 AM

Hi,

I am facing Disk space warning in Disk /dev/root (/var/named/chroot/var/run/dbus) Urgent Help! It is 86 % now and constantly increasing.

I ran these -

Sure.

Go inside this folder
/usr/local/apache/logs/
and execute this command
rm -rf *_log
then go inside this folder
/usr/local/apache/domlogs
rm -rf *

But it didn't help much.It again started increasing.
then i ran yum clean all.It helped a bit but not much.

Is there a permanent or better solution for this.Or any way to increase its size..Kindly help me asap.

Thanks.

You can use the command 'du -h /' to show what folders are using the most disk space, and then go into those folders and determine whether the files in there are supposed to be in there or not.

Can you please post the result of the command df -h . You need to clear files of /dev/root and not the logs

du -h / give a long output... i cant even see/copy full in ssh..

madaboutlinux · #7 01-29-2010, 11:55 AM

If you are unable to paste the complete output, it's better to have someone look into your server especially your hosting company. BTW, if the log files are continuously growing, you should check what exactly is filling up the log files using the "tail" command, for example:

tail -f /usr/local/apache/logs/error_logs

and work accordingly to fix the issue.

sslinuxserversupport · #8 01-29-2010, 12:33 PM

you can use the command du -h --max-depth=1 in / to get the exact details, <<snipped>>

LeaTrueman · #9 01-29-2010, 01:05 PM

please paste the result of following commands,

du -sh /var/log/*
