Was a solution found for this? The last report was some months ago. I am using 8.10 intrepid. I am getting what appears to be this issue. I had 16 GB allocated to my / partition. Home and swap are seperate. A few days ago I was unable to do anything requiring root access and also things like emails in Thunderbird would fail because it could not save temp files etc. I found my / partition was full. Odd. It's pretty big. So I cleaned a bunch of stuff off. Perhaps freed up a gig or two. It was again full the next day. So I increased it to 21 GB just to be done with it. Today, it is full again. I don't know what is filling it up. But $df says it's at 100% I find that hard to believe.
As for simple backup. I did have that installed. I then tried time machine or something like that. I thought I had them both on here. Either way, both were set up to use an external USB drive. Apt-get is telling me Simple Backup is not installed. I know I removed the other time machine (or whatever it was called) one some days ago. I can't check all this in synaptic (where I installed them and am most comfortable with managing packages) because it won't start when my root partition is full. I'd be interested to hear what people did to resolve this. -- Root partition usage reaches 100% without reason https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/217389 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
