Warning: Not enough disk space in /dev/mda5 (/usr)

[BRAHM]

Hi,

since yesterday my partion /de/mda5 is in lack of space.

I have deleted same files in /usr and when I check with #df the spacess miss again.

I can not understand this behaviur.

In meantime the e-mail messages are stopped in mail queue and the never goes to users webmail (postifx + horde)

it is a real pain in the ***.

Hi BRAHM,

could you check which folder consumes most of the space via mc (midnight commander)? If you found that, you could move that to another partition (i.e. mails, backups, dumps).
But first of all get a view of it.

 

[BRAHM]

/usr/lib => 730 MB

/usr/lib => 290MB

/usr/jvm => 333MB

At the same time I delete a file the space decrease again.

I can not undersand this behaviur. I have tried 1and1 support without any response after 4 hours.

You will need to check the folder usages with:

du -hs /usr/*

Hi BRAHM,

and please post the output from `df -BM` to get an overview how your partitions are splitted.
Afterwards, I think, we'll find a solution for it.

 

[BRAHM]

/dev/md1 9397M 1286M 7634M 15% /
/dev/md5 9537M 4223M 5314M 45% /usr
/dev/md6 131555M 10555M 121000M 9% /var
none 493M 1M 493M 1% /tmp


In meantime I reboot the server and the free spacke got back again (45% used right now)

I got a little worried because I have never got this issue before. I think it would be a log file out of control :S

 

[HMoellendorf87]

Hi BRAHM,

okay, so, I think, you're right. To get this, please consider to run the command told by Abdi, to see, whats consuming the disk space.
Maybe a backup task is running? (for example)

 

[BRAHM]

This the output for: du -hs /usr/*

148M /usr/bin
0 /usr/etc
0 /usr/games
19M /usr/include
92K /usr/kerberos
315M /usr/lib
478M /usr/lib64
28M /usr/libexec
2,6G /usr/local
43M /usr/sbin
550M /usr/share
0 /usr/src
0 /usr/tmp

I' d like to thank everyone in this thread about the assistance.

 

[HMoellendorf87]

Dear BRAHM,

You'll have to drill it down, as you run the command from Abdi again but instead of /usr/* plese use /usr/local/*
So we can find the issue or file which is causing full partitions.

FYI: HMoellendorf87 and HenningM are both mine accounts, as I cannot login into my PPE account, sadly.

Hello,

I can see our /usr/local (2,6G /usr/local) directory is using 2.6Gb disk space on your /usr partitions, Check which directory is using the high disk space under the /use/local directory

Also provide us following command out put

df -h

 du -sch /usr/local/*

Check which is directory is using high space in your /usr/local/psa directory.

May be your /usr/local/psa/var/log directory is using the high disk space on your server
