Root partition is suddenly 100% full - can't log in
Asked by
Jim Hutchinson
I have ubuntu set up with a 150GB /home and a 20GB / partition. Until today that / partition was about 25% full. Suddenly it's 100% without a single byte free. I have no idea why or how this happened. I have booted a live CD and am exploring the / partition but I cannot find any large usage of space. Is there a way to search the partition for large files? Any idea how this can happen? I've been using ubuntu for about 2 years and never seen this before.
Thanks.
