Hello all,
Can anyone help me with a disk usage problem? I have a disk
partition of 65GB in LVM; df says:
/dev/dm-0 65570580 60494828 1744888 98% /
However, if I use either du or Baobab they reckon the directories in
it add up to 30Gb or so. As it is my root directory, and there are
various others it is a little difficult to get the total, so I booted
under liveUSB and saw exactly the same - 30Gb used, but 98% full.
So something is stealing half my disk. If I try to write more it
is out of space.
Any ideas how I get my space back? fsck reports the disk is clean.
If the filesystem seems clean you need to use the -f option to force
the check to actually happen.
If that doesn't help, you could copy everything to someplace else, make
a new filesystem, and copy back again, assuming you have a "someplace
else". cpio or tar would work, booted from liveUSB.
