The operating system will assume you're using the installation partition correctly (which was not the case for me in this instance) so it will cache what it can to accelerate system responsiveness. The ram is used to cache items on the disk to vastly improve linux's performance.
#Df root folder free
It is now 36gb free which makes way more sense (mine is large mainly because I keep HD graphics on this partition too for quick previewing of large sets of images).ĭefinitely make sure you get a good understanding of permissions before you delete / manage your files or may wind up having things you thought were deleted crowding your SSD.Īs a side note, my 16gb of ram was loading on boot at 92% while my root partition was housing said deleted files, and staying there steadily because of this same issue too. Turns out the lectures I mistakenly copied to this partition weren't deleted when I moved them to the partition I originally meant to copy them to.
#Df root folder full
"Filesystem" in the left pane of the window manager was saying nearly full of the 50gb I set aside for installation files for Ubuntu/Mint. I found that if you delete things using the window manager and you don't have sufficient permissions at the time you do it, the files you thought you deleted (both by command line using "rm" and "apt autoremove -purge", and by emptying trash bin) may have ended up in the ".local/share/_" of the root partition. I was having this same problem and used the trick mickael posted above to concisely print out disk usage. My current installations have 10-14 Gb for the root and binary (aka /usr) partitions.Ĭheck the "/home/yourname/.local/share/Trash" folder with "du" command (see above):
#Df root folder software
You should remove some unessential software packages. To have only 5.7 Gb for an ubuntu installation seems to be a bit too little. The good point is that your system functionality is currently still be given.īut you should fix the problem soon. The output shows that you have still some space, but it seems to be reserved for root. Notes Reserved storage /dev/sda1 5.7G 5.4G 0 100% /
#Df root folder install
Now look on every directory, that is normally hidden by another mount, e.g.:ĭon`t forget to control at the end the consistency of your installation with: apt-get install -f To investigate this mount the root file system temporary on a second location: mkdir /tmp/2ndRoot Other mounted partitions may hide used storage. Remove any kernel versions you doesn't need any more 4. You may investigate the current situation with: dpkg -l "linux**" |grep ^.i (Because the dependency which force the installation in the past has been removed.) apt-get autoremove -purgeĬheck how many kernel packages are installed, and remove outdated kernel versions. The following command will remove all automatically installed packages, which aren't required any more. Unnecessary packages filling up the space. Core dumps filling up the disk.Ĭheck with: find / -xdev -name core -ls -o -path "/lib*" -pruneĢ. Some likely measures for an overflowing root partition are (based on cases): 1.
