Hi,
I am getting full root directory problem! I was not able to login to KDE due to this, Fortunately i could login to xfce and i uninstalled some applications to free space. through this way i gained about 700MG from my 7.8GB / directory which was %99.9 full! I managed to login to KDE. Shortly later (just less than half an hour!!!), i am again getting %99 full / directory and i am afraid this may very soon cause problems. So what should i do?
I am quite familiar with this behaviour, and in fact diagnosed what is happening and fixed it here. Unfortunately it was a while ago and I cannot recollect.
BUT, you will certainly fix it if you use tar to copy out the entire partition data to another partition (retain this as a backup) with a third partition your active Linux. Make a new file system in the was-errant partition. Then copy the data back again. You must use tar because it alone has the capability of dumping and correctly restoring the /dev directory.
