rootfs full? how come? - anthonyonions - 24th Jan, 2013 08:13 AM

I've just tried downloading a couple movies, and its jsut reported that there is no space left on the SD card.

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs 7.3G 7.1G 0 100% /
/dev/root 7.3G 7.1G 0 100% /
devtmpfs 201M 0 201M 0% /dev
tmpfs 41M 556K 40M 2% /run
tmpfs 5.0M 0 5.0M 0% /run/lock
tmpfs 81M 0 81M 0% /run/shm
/dev/mmcblk0p1 34M 14M 21M 41% /boot
tmpfs 81M 0 81M 0% /tmp

What is likely to have filled that up?

Seem to be having nothing but problems since I did a 'sudo shutdown -h now' Huh

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Thanks
Ant

sorry, but not following here ? u just said u downloaded some movies so it means you filled your card, so you need to move the stuff out or delete it

Indeed, you got a full SD card, not surprising since a HD movie can be up to 10G and you card was only 7.1G

Thanks guys, I didn't realise how the space would be allocated. I'd just started to DL the film, but I'd started 2 at once. Neither would have filled the space, but looks like together with some sort of incomplete files and allocation of space when complete has filled it up.

Just for information, I ran: find // -xdev -type f -size +10000000c -exec ls -ladh {} \; to see what files were taking up the space and then deleted them. All back to normal now.

Lesson learnt is to get the additional drive space sooner rather than later Rolleyes

Many thanks
