RE: [cobalt-developers] expanding filesystem size

["Jamie Rossi" <jamie.rossi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for the advice.

I ran the command and go the following

12      /lost+found
5917    /etc
3875    /bin
2426    /boot
14061   /lib
10      /mnt
42984   /root
6238    /sbin
623443  /usr
80      /dev
14      /nsr
699072  /


The big item seems to be the / folder which is very full.

Can I create /home/root2 then create a symbolic link from / to this?

Or do I create a symbolic link in /usr/doc for example and move the
files to the new location?


Regards

Jamie

Hi, before you start doing that, it might be better to figure out what's
eating up all the space.  I remember that when I first installed
webalizer it had a terrible problem of eating up disk space, so I had to
make some changes to that.

The best way to find out where your free space is going, do this as
root:  du -x --max-depth=1 / You'll get output similar to:

12      /lost+found
5474    /etc
8638    /bin
1673    /boot
27048   /lib
3       /mnt
5195    /root
6230    /sbin
626658  /usr
80      /dev
2381    /share
14      /nsr
316     /man
89      /include
684495  /

You'll want to look through there and figure out where the space is
being used, so you might want to run (using the output from above as an
example): du -x --max-depth=1 /usr

Once you find out where your disk hog is, you can more easily fix it.
For example, if java is the culprit, you can create a folder called
/home/java and then make a link so that /usr/java -> /home/java then
you'll have more space in /usr.

I hope this helps, if not, the above information will make trouble
shooting a lot easier.
