Out of disk space on 4GB partiton yet it's only using 2GB
- by Camsoft
I'm running Ubuntu and have had a problem where the root partition has run out of disk space.
When I perform df -h I get the following:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda6 4.6G 4.5G 0 100% /
Yet there are only 2GB of files actually using up this partition. I then ran the following df -i and I get the following:
Filesystem Inodes IUsed IFree IUse% Mounted on
/dev/sda6 305824 118885 186939 39% /
I have no idea what the -i flag does but it clearly shows that only 39% is used.
Can anyone explain where my disk space has gone?
