df
will show you, which partitions are affected. The output of
df
might look like the following (Change to the second console
with Alt-F2
, if necessary) :
Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/sda1 49139 49139 0 100% / /dev/sda3 97830 80123 12486 87% /var /dev/sda7 497667 474361 0 100% /usr /dev/sda8 497667 159179 312786 34% /opt /dev/sda9 637491 503724 100836 83% /usr/src 192.168.102.1:/real-home 13877512 8305927 5427242 60% /home/alexIn this example the partitions "
/
" and "/usr
" have
no space left. There is still some space for root
on the partition
"/usr
". If you want to view a compressed man page with "man
",
it must be unpacked temporarily into the /tmp
-directory. In this example
this will result in the message
gzip: stdout: No space left on device zsoelim: /usr/bin/gzip -dc /usr/man/man1/man.1.gz > /tmp/zman00228aaa exited with status 256
