As a matter of fact, it is at an amazing 109% of capacity. My swap volume always shows 200 MB of free space, and the other volumes (/usr /var ...) also have plenty of empty space. What and, more importantly, where should I look to find the things which are filling it? I have looked through the /temp directory, and there isn't that much there. I started getting the messages after compiling a lot of programs is there an output directory or something? You mean /tmp, not /temp, right? Have you been only logging in as root and filling up root's home directory with all of this compiling you are doing (~root is on /)? Those are the most frequent problems. Also, how much space did you allocate for the / partition? -- Crist J.
