Hello! I'm not a Ubuntu pro user, but I'm trying to learn more and more. Yesterday, I experienced the same situation as described here.
I work with molecular dynamics simulation, specifically with a program called GROMACS. When I was trying to do a simulation, the program told me it would take about 2 days to complete (weird, because the kind of simulation I had trying usually lasts about 6 hours). It only took a little time for my hard disk free space had being completely consumed (and breaking my simulation). When I used the Baobap to see the disk usage, it took me to this folder .cache/upstart occupying about 70GB! I deleted it, restarted the computer, and my simulation had functioned normally (it took 5 hours to complete), and I didn't have any problems with the .cache. Very strange bug!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1240848 Title: ~/.cache/upstart takes up around 70GB of space due to unity and mediascanner To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1240848/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
