maybe you have your /var directory on your / part, and big logfiles<br>
goto your /var/log directory, and do a <b>du -k</b> <br>
you will see size of you log files / bub directories ( in kbytes)<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello to all.
I have two servers both with the same problem.
Both seem to have run out of space on the / directory
1 system has 256 mb of space for the / and the 2nd has 497 mb for the /
On inspection I found that on both systems the /proc/kcore to be rather
large.
On the 1st its 402657280 and 939528192 on the 2nd.
I did manage to free up some space on the second system by uninstalling a
heap of programs, but after rebooting the free space disappeared again.
I noticed that the kcore file is actually a linked file, but from where?
/dev??
Also any program that requires free space there won't run. I can access via
webmin, and terminal, but Xwindows will no longer start.
Can anyone please help me with this and or point me to some data about the
kcore.
My guess is that this is the kernel core file.
My 7.3 machine only shows 131 mb used on the / but its /proc/kcore file is
251645952
So, any explanation on this phenomena would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any help and I hope this proves to be a usefull
question.

<pre wrap=""><!---->I don't think kcore is the problem. The files in /proc
are not really
files. They are content that the kernal provides on request. For
example on my machine:
[akonstam@(protected) proc]$ ls -l kcore
-r-- ----- 1 root root 145113088 Feb 24 09:20 kcore
[akonstam@(protected) proc]$ du -s kcore
0 kcore
So you see kcore really does not take up space.
