Help!!
I think I killed it! LM 7.2. I was dorking around with a backup script
and I innocently made a few modification and I filled the / partition up
to the MAX. Specifically, df showed the following (before and after):
[david@Nemesis david]$ df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 241116 94480 134188 41% /
/dev/hda8 22580208 613160 20820012 3% /home
/dev/hda6 3020140 921856 1944868 32% /usr
/dev/hda7 18081960 65116 17098332 0% /var
/proc/bus/usb 4520490 4520490 0 100% /proc/bus/usb
[root@Nemesis david]# df
Filesystem 1k-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda1 241116 241116 0 100% /
/dev/hda8 22580208 613940 20819232 3% /home
/dev/hda6 3020140 921856 1944868 32% /usr

/proc/bus/usb 4520490 4520490 0 100% /proc/bus/usb
Somehow I lost 134 Megs on the / mount point??? Where in the Sam Hill
did it go? I've looked and I can't find it (#$#%%^) The modified script
I ran was as follows:
echo \
echo Starting Rankin*Bertin, PLLC Backup......
echo \
smbmount //tripod/c /mnt/tripod -o password=xxxxxxxx
cp -Ruvf /home/samba/rbpllc /mnt/tripod/rbpllcbackup > /home/david/log
umount /mnt/tripod
Oh, it freaking died in the cp action and never got to "umount
/mnt/tripod"
The echo \ was all that was added in trying to put line feeds in the
script. (I now know that doesn't do it....) The log file is no help.
Anyway, I have looked and looked for some file that I created that was
over 50M but I can't find shi%. Oh, I've found "core" and "kcore" but I
don't think those memory files are doing it. Are they?????
Help!!! Am I screwed? Did I do something really really bad? How do I
get my 134M back? Where in the hell is the file I created that sucked
all my disk space up?
Uh...., it goes without saying that any help will be GREATLY
aprectiated!
