 |
|
Hi All,
I have a problem i hope someone can help me with.
I have run out of disk space in my root partition.
I currently have a 1.8gb /root partition and also have separate partitions for the following:
/boot
/var
/usr
/opt
/home
So i'm a bit concerned what has used up all 1.8gb of my root partition. I cant seem to find anything using up the space.
Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be using up all the space?
Edit: I have searched and googled but cant seem to find the answer in looking for.
Thanks
Littlebear

check out this thread from the FAQ section in the forums. They are really quite useful.

Thanks for the link, but i have already been right through that section and still can work out why i have run out of disk space., since most of the directories that would use it are on other partitions.

|
|
Well i think i have found the problem. I have a found a file in the /proc directory called kcore which is 1024MB in size. I have tried to delete it and it wont let me even after changing the file properties.
Can anyone tell me what this file is for and how can i delete it?
Thanks

After a bit more searching a found a thread with someone who had the same problem.
I just ran ccache -C and it cleared 1.6gb of my root partition. I have now changed the default path of ccache and the cache size.
Cheers
