I have a strange problem. Recently, I started getting strange errors saying that things could not be saved in my home directory, and quickly checked with df..
Here is what I get:
# df
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdc1 5.8G 2.2G 3.4G 40% /
/dev/hdc6 31G 31G 0 100% /home
/dev/hdd1 19G 832M 17G 5% /var/www
hmm... so I have 31G used in the home partition...
This morning, I searched for whatever is taking up all of this space and found a 300MB log file, and deleted it (far from 31G, but it's a start) then df showed some free space.
this afternoon, it was back to full, so I decided to look further. I did used the du -h --max-depth=1 commmand from the root folder and got this:
# du -h --max-depth=1
142M ./home
20K ./mnt
152K ./dev
20M ./etc
460K ./tmp
...
...
Can anyone point me in the right direction on this problem?
Thanks,
Tim
