Hi,
 I am hoping someone might have an ide as to what is filling my SME Server 7.5.1 Hard drive..
Earlier this evening my daughter complained about bad internet access..
I thought I'll reboot SME and see if that helps, Now the VM's never start, and the
/var/log/messages shows :

This continues..
I did delete some large files and freed up around 5G of space, but it was soon filled !!

[root@l1nuxsvr spool]# df -Th
Filesystem    Type    Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/main-root
              ext3    292G  278G     0 100% /
/dev/md1      ext3     99M   43M   52M  45% /boot
none         tmpfs    2.0G     0  2.0G   0% /dev/shm

I cleared up /tmp  but still have the issue..
appreciate any help.

Try and investigate where the bulk of the data is using the du command. Start at the root (/):

And then use something like:

Code: [Select]

du --max-detph 1
Above command will look one directory deep and sum all data in it, that way you can easily pinpoint what is eating up your harddrive.

Thanks for the tip,  I found my asterisk messages log was 17GB due to a rogue device causing it to log a failure multiple times a second.
I deleted the message log, and sorted out the problem device, now all is looking good again.
 Thank you cactus !
