Hi,
My hda1 partition is becoming %100 used and I don't
know why. This began happening after a system lockup
where I had to power cycle. I made about 9.7Gig of
space available on the drive but after another lockup
and power cycle the drive is %100 used again.
[studio_AT_stepdaddy studio]$ df -H
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted
on
/dev/hda2 38GB 36GB 118MB 100% /
/dev/hda1 104MB 21MB 79MB 21% /boot
MOUNT
/dev/hda2 on / type ext3 (rw)
FSTAB
LABEL=/ / ext3
defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3
defaults 1 2

none /proc proc

none /dev/shm tmpfs
defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap

I looked for hints in /var/log/messages but didn't see
anything interesting. I didn't see any logs for
filesystems.
Could it be that ext3 is doing something to cause
this? Perhaps the filesystem needs to be checked.
At one point, I removed about two gigs of data and 'df
-H' reported available space at around 500MB. I'm not
sure what that might indicate.
I don't know anything about ext3 and how it works or
what it does but I guess that's where I'll start my
studies. Maybe it's a hardware problem with the HD. I
hope it isn't. If anyone has some clues about what I
should do or ideas for what might be happening, I
could really use the help.
