[Voyage-linux] check/repair fs

[Robert Rawlins - Think Blue]

Morning Gustin,

Thanks very much for the suggestion, that goes someway to making the results more readable, however, this still looks to me as if only 671mb is registered as being used on the fs:

voyage:/# du -Pacmx --max-depth=1 . |sort -g
0       ./dev
0       ./initrd.img
0       ./initrd.img-2.6.23-486-voyage
0       ./proc
0       ./root
0       ./sys
0       ./tmp
0       ./vmlinuz
0       ./vmlinuz-2.6.23-486-voyage

1       ./voyage.dpkg-l
1       ./voyage.dpkg.list
2       ./pblue
4       ./bin
5       ./boot
5       ./sbin
5       ./thinkblue
8       ./etc
8       ./home
18      ./lib
25      ./rw
181     ./var
414     ./usr
671     .
671     total

However, quite clearly df -h is stating otherwise:

voyage:/# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
rootfs                2.0G  1.9G     0 100% /
udev                   10M   20K   10M   1% /dev
/dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS
                      2.0G  1.9G     0 100% /
/dev/disk/by-label/ROOT_FS
                      2.0G  1.9G     0 100% /dev/.static/dev
tmpfs                 126M     0  126M   0% /lib/init/rw
tmpfs                 126M     0  126M   0% /dev/shm
tmpfs                 8.0M     0  8.0M   0% /rw/tmp

This problem is also stopping things such as MySQL running as they're throwing an error which says there isn’t enough space left on the device.

Cheers for any further ideas.

Thanks,

Rob

I use "du -Pacmx --max-depth=1 . |sort -g"
This will force the output to be in MB, and then sort and total the
results.  I have an alias in my .bashrc for this as it is kinda
cumbersome to type every time.

Not really, it says that your disk is full.  There are a hundred
possible causes, and corruption is not the most likely (but still possible).
