So im a very new sysadmin, just got out of school and doing my internship. Only problem is that im the only sysadmin in the place and no one to show me the job. Anyway, it's a very small company, one CentOs server with that configuration :
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 184G 140G 35G 81% /
tmpfs 2.3G 0 2.3G 0% /lib/init/rw
udev 2.3G 212K 2.3G 1% /dev
tmpfs 2.3G 0 2.3G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda1 4.6G 156M 4.2G 4% /boot
/dev/sda4 33G 176M 31G 1% /tmp
/dev/sdb1 1.8T 1.8T 0 100% /media/backupInterne
/dev/sdd1 917G 470G 401G 54% /media/Data
I got here only a few days ago, and noticed the full disk right away and im working on fixing that problem. My other problem here is sda3 now at 81%. 4 days ago, it was at 79%.
I ran the du -ah | sort -rh command on the / root directory, nothing stands out. Did it with a few days appart since the sda3 partition is filling up quickly, no major differences that could explain why its growing.
Thanks a lot
sdb1
is full, but we'll see how big/var
is.. what do you get fromdu -sh /*
?find
with -mtime n[smhdw]. I suspect that Shane is right. Part of it may be the log files complaining about the full sdb1 volume. The command could look like this:find / -type f -mtime 1d -print
If your find supports--exclude-dir=
then you mioght want to exclude /dev and /proc.kill -1 PID
-> reread config file and restart for many deamons) or by the blunt axe of rebooting.
