Dealing with old CentOS 5.6 box, with no lvm setup, my root file system / is full, I have cleared many old log files and application files that I don't need, which was more then 2 -5GB in size, however my system still reports that disk is full.
[root@tornms1 ~]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/sda3 130G 124G 0 100% /

/dev/sda1 99M 24M 71M 26% /boot
tmpfs 2.0G 0 2.0G 0% /dev/shm
[root@tornms1 ~]# mount
/dev/sda3 on / type ext3 (rw)

/dev/sdb1 on /data type ext3 (rw)
/dev/sda1 on /boot type ext3 (rw)
tmpfs on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
none on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw)
sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw)
Any idea on what I should try to do next? unfortunately rebooting the box is not an option at this time.
1Sorry for asking stupid question, but did you make sure your
/.Trash/
is empty? Have you donesudo rm -Rf ~/.Trash/*
? – Art Gertner – 2014-04-07T13:48:01.263This is a server, I don't have xwindow installed, therefore I don't have .trash folder in my root account. – user1007727 – 2014-04-07T13:48:55.130
My bad, I assumed /.Trash/ exists on all unix-like systems. – Art Gertner – 2014-04-07T13:56:39.440
also you could try the sync(http://linux.die.net/man/8/sync) command maybe all your operations are still cached.
