That's what happens when you leave /home on the root filesysem.
is reported as having no free space. I've found a file /proc/kcore
Don't screw with that -- it takes NO disk space ... Remember...EVERYTHING on Unix and Linux is a file.... including system memory. The entire /proc directory is a virtual filesystem -- it's not on any disk drive ANYWHERE. /proc/kcore is all of kernal memory presented as a file. Don't touch it unless you are George Goble (whom I have witnessed tuning the kernel parameters of a running kernal using a symbolic debugger...with 50+ user logged in and doing their work... and only AFTER obtaining the desired performance, recompiling the kernel to match his tuning)
which is the probable culprit, being about 1000MB, with today's date, but even root is not allowed to move or delete this file.
My system looks like this:
Device Size Mount point Free sda2 965.1MB / 0B sda3 60.8MB /boot 46.8MB sda5 9.8GB /usr 4.9GB sda6 2.0GB /var 1.2GB sda7 2.0GB /opt 906.3MB sda8 1011.4MB /tmp 926.4MB sda9 257.3GB /home 154.1GB
I've been downloading openSUSE 11.0 Alpha1, via ktorrent for the past 24 hours, but other than that I'm only doing what I always do - read email, news, browse the web, play music.
Your problem is that you failed to make a /home partition, and your personal files have filled up the root partition. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
