Root file system is 99%

[shunraj]

My root file system is showing 99%. I saw the files and found a file called kcore in the /proc directory is occupying lot of space. What could I do ?

You need about 5 - 7 GB to install a big distro like SUSE or whatever. Buy a new hard disk or install a smaller distro if you are limited on file space.

but the complaint is about a special file "kcore" occupying lot of space under /proc FS. And *As Far as I know" /proc is a special FS which does NOT depend on HDD's Size. Please CORRECT Me If I'm wrong.

shunraj, what's your RAM ans SWAP size btw? Can you please give us more LIGHT on ur Partitioning Info and RAM Size?

[variant]

Exactly.. thats why I ignored what he said abotu the file. He is probably just running out of space.. perhaps too strict with partitioning for "/"

shunraj. please post the output of "df -h"

/dev/cciss/c0p3 3.9G 3.6G 67M 99% /
/dev/cciss/c0p1 97M 42M 51M 46% /boot
none 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm
/dev/cciss/c0p5 20G 4.2G 15G 23% /appl

Normally I am using my all datas and package in the /appl mount only. There is nothing in the / fs.

You are running OUT of disc space... time to secure ur data and allocate more disk space for linux
