As a quick fix, I used to boot into single mode, and then ditch some large files or logs etc I did not need to make space... Linux will save about 5% of the inodes, so diskspace used is really not 100%. Long term fix will require finding what is on / that is using the space, be it /var or whatever and moving it somewhere else..(ie. another disk) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lennart Sorensen" <lsorense-1wCw9BSqJbv44Nm34jS7GywD8/FfD2ys at public.gmane.org> To: <tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org> Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2003 11:01 AM Subject: Re: [TLUG]: Help!

Help! My system seems to have run out of space on /dev/hda6 and it causing lots and lots of problems. Everything on the server is set up as RAID5 (Values shown below are 1/3 of system space). How can I shrink /dev/md0 and increase the size of hda6, or some other suggestions to get this working? Any suggestions would be really appreciated. I am running RH7.3
Thanks,

Find out what is eating that much space on /
Given /var, /home and /usr are seperate, maybe /root has been a messy user. :)
Or /tmp is too busy and should be mounted elsewhere.
