(obviously) linux newbie and proud to be so... please don't suggest i get a
bigger hard drive.
Somehow my /home partition is now 100% full (mdk 9.2). I can easily sort this
type of problem in windows, it's very frustrating that I can't figure this out
in linux. So right now I can't send emails from linux ("error writing temporary
file"). KDiskFree shows no space left.
I'm not sure what's going on here, because the partition is 8GB, and I'm storing
email and other files on a different partition (so I can dual boot) and am not
aware of doing anything that would be using the space. I have upgraded mozilla
and installed a seti app, which hardly accounts for much! Sure, I've used the
gui urpmi tool to install all the updates. But filling an entire 8.3GB???
So I tried removing a few packages, which was a fix (I could send email!) for a
couple of days. But I'm back at 100% again. Can anyone suggest what I can do?
Does this seem to be a "normal" situation? Or is something going wrong? I
can't keep on removing packages for too long...
I went looking for the command to list free partition space and only came up
with this (it's hdb7 that's full).
