Posted April 29, 201410 yr I have a system running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS I have 3 partitions: 1 is around 30GB (For OS) and the other two are both around 850GB and are mounted as backups1 and backups2. I am having a problem with backups1 in that it is showing as full, but really I cant understand how it is full. When I run df -h, I get this: Code: /dev/sda3 886G 813G 29G 97% /backups1 However, when I run this command to see the top ten largets files it doesn't show anything big enough to fill the drive: Code: du -a / | sort -n -r | head -n 10 It shows this for the top ten files: 713398700 / 410487416 /backups2 299708348 /backups1 251437244 /backups1/... 145498144 /backups1/.../... 100049880 /backups2/... 95036044 /backups2/... 83795840 /backups2/.../... 83795836 /backups2/.../.../... 78492904 /backups2/... So you can see on backups1, the biggest folder is only 299708348 bytes which I beleive equates to roughly 300GB. Any ideas? Continue reading...
