Hiya! I have a problem with / currently being at 108% capacity. I have found a previous thread in the archives which explains a few questions but I can't find what is taking up all the additional space. At best without destroying what I still do not understand I can manage to get / to about 101% capacity. To answer a couple of potential questions straight up, there is nothing in /root and /tmp is on a separate partition. intranet# df -h Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/da0s1a 989M 986M -76M 108% / devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev /dev/da0s1e 989M 216K 910M 0% /tmp /dev/da0s1f 58G 4.8G 48G 9% /usr /dev/da0s1d 4.8G 2.2G 2.3G 49% /var /dev/da1p1 3.3T 682G 2.4T 22% /db devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /var/named/dev intranet# du -h -d1 2.0K ./.snap 1.5K ./dev 218K ./tmp 4.8G ./usr 2.2G ./var 1.7M ./etc 2.0K ./cdrom 2.0K ./dist 1.1M ./bin 71M ./boot 4.4M ./lib 360K ./libexec 2.0K ./media 512B ./net 2.0K ./proc 3.8M ./rescue 26K ./root 4.1M ./sbin 512B ./host 682G ./db 689G . If I move the old kernel/GENERIC files from /boot I can manage to get back to 101%, I really have no idea where the rest of the space has gone though. Is there any way to locate large files on a specific partition? I did have a problem not too long ago where my /db array did not mount and MySQL managed to recreate the default/sample database on /db/ mysql, could this default database be somewhere else on / while the / db array problem was fixed? *scratches head* Hartz.
