I have a small system that has happily run various versions of FBSD over
the years. Currently it's on 6.1-R-p11.
This morning I found /usr was out of disk space. I freed a little by
clearing /usr/tmp, /usr/obj, and some log files I didn't need in
/usr/var/log just to keep the "/usr: write failed, filesystem is full"
from filling my screen. Next I checked my periodic.daily messages to
see when the big increase happened. I found I lost nearly half of my
space two days ago:
Disk status:
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 738318 101270 577984 15% /
devfs 1 1 0 100% /dev
/dev/stripe/user 6726926 3132434 3056338 51% /usr
devfs 1 1 0 100% /usr/var/named/dev
Today my "df -h" output looks like this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/da0s1a 721M 99M 564M 15% /
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /dev
/dev/stripe/user 6.4G 5.9G -9.5M 100% /usr
devfs 1.0K 1.0K 0B 100% /usr/var/named/dev
I have not done any upgrades or installations.
So I tried tracking down the usage with du and got the following:
blacksheep# du -r -c -d 1 -h /usr
2.0K /usr/.snap
41M /usr/sup
42M /usr/share
13M /usr/include
33M /usr/lib
92K /usr/libdata
17M /usr/libexec
903M /usr/local
26M /usr/bin
14M /usr/sbin
2.0K /usr/compat
186K /usr/games
12M /usr/home
15M /usr/var
10K /usr/tmp
6.0K /usr/X11R6
537M /usr/ports
428M /usr/src
2.0K /usr/obj
2.0G /usr
2.0G total
So why does du report only 2.0 GB of usage while df reports over 6 GB?
Where has my storage gone? Or do I not understand proper usage of du?
Thanks for your help,
Drew
