Cool Linux up2date no free space
I just installed linux ws 3.0. I was trying to run up2date. I finally got it acossiated with a channel. Now I am getting an error that says I have 0KB of free space. If I look at properties on some folders it gives me 0KB freespace. However I know I did not completely fill the disk up already. Anyone know how to fix this?

Where'd All the space go?
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda2 36G 34G 0 100% /
/dev/hda1 99M 9.0M 85M 10% /boot
none 250M 0 250M 0% /dev/shm


I thought I formated the drive while installing Linux and the only other things I've installed is NetBeans and ns2, so I am not sure where 34G got used? Guess I also installed some little things to try and fix my problem with not being able to update. But that still shouldn't have sucked up 34 GB .

Try and figure out which directory is taking up most of your space up by using the du comand.

do a man on du

It is also a good idea to partition your hard drive when using linux.
Code:
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/md1              981M   86M  846M  10% /
/dev/md0               97M  9.0M   83M  10% /boot
/dev/md4              9.7G  2.7G  6.5G  29% /home
/dev/md5              2.0G  248M  1.6G  14% /opt
none                  378M     0  378M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/md2              9.7G  833M  8.4G   9% /usr
/dev/md3              9.7G  316M  8.9G   4% /var

Ended Up just reinstalling Linux, and manually fixing the partitions. So far it has solved that problem. But thanks.

If you would make partitions like I did above, you could have then determined which directory was filling up and why.
