    No free space ?

    I have a problem with my Suse 10.2.
    I have a 5 gb partition and i got out of space, so i deleted some packages using yast.
    Now, yast reports i got 300 mb free, but look at df output :
    #: df
    Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on
    /dev/sda7 5162796 4927324 0 100% /

    My maths is wrong? or 5162796 - 4927324 is about 250 MB ?
    I cant even see a man page because there is no free space .
    Tryed ldconfig too, but same result. Tryed to delete the /var/log/messages, but still 0 free space.
    Any ideas ?

    5 gb is very little for SuSE 10.2 , try df -h to get more readable output of the space used

    I also have 5 gb for /home, so why shouldnt be enough? I had Fedora on 10 gb, ubuntu, so why not?
    As i said, i cant even see a man page because i get message: cannot reformat the man page because cant create file in /tmp no free space.
    The weird thing is that system properties report 300 mb free and df says 0.
    df -h just types in human readable and its same thing.
    Anything else?

    Have you tried deleting everything in /tmp?

    Switch to runlevel 1 - ctrl+alt+f1, log in as root. Then type init 1. It may then prompt you to log in as root again or ask for the root password.

    When you have done this run
    Code:
    cd /tmp
    rm -rf *
    for i in $(ls -a);do rm -rf $i;done
    init 5
