| systemdlete | laptop running ascii keeps connecting/disconnecting wireless -- log shows "Interface doesn't support scanning" yet iwlist shows plenty of neighbors nearby! | 00:28 |
|---|---|---|
| systemdlete | this was working until a day or so ago, and I have not updated/upgraded anything since. | 00:29 |
| systemdlete | the kernel is 4.19.0-0.bpo.5-amd64 | 00:29 |
| systemdlete | on july 15, I deleted popcon, but I've used the laptop since then. | 00:33 |
| systemdlete | and popcon certainly shouldn't be the issue... | 00:34 |
| systemdlete | btw, my phone is connected over the same wireless net, so it is not likely a net problem. | 00:36 |
| FlibberTGibbet | hi. bit of a puzzle here ... my root filesystem (/dev/sda2) is showing 99% full but there isn't nearly enough data on it to allow for that! any way to diagnose? | 14:17 |
| gnarface | how much isn't nearly enough? | 14:19 |
| gnarface | ext4 reserves 5% by default, not sure if that shows up in your check or not | 14:20 |
| Atari-Frosch | Lots of very small files, so that there are no more inodes left? | 14:20 |
| onefang | GBs of log files coz log rotation isn't working well? | 14:21 |
| FlibberTGibbet | well, i'd expect (exluding other drives mounted) to see around 20-40GB used. it's showing 419/451GB used... | 14:22 |
| gnarface | du | 14:22 |
| onefang | Lots of old apt package files in the cache, coz you never did apt clean? | 14:23 |
| gnarface | try using du (check out the man page) | 14:23 |
| FlibberTGibbet | du -sh /* shows nothing within the main filesystem (excluding a few large disks mounted at /work /mnt...) bigger than a few GB | 14:26 |
| FlibberTGibbet | all a bit odd :) | 14:26 |
| gnarface | could it be hardlinked data showing up in your check? | 14:27 |
| FlibberTGibbet | suppose it could be. | 14:27 |
| gnarface | or deleted data unsynced i guess is possible, depending on how you're checking... | 14:28 |
| gnarface | does it change at all if you run "sync" ? | 14:28 |
| gnarface | (as root preferrably but might not matter) | 14:28 |
| FlibberTGibbet | just checked lsof, ran sync, no change. looking into hardlinks etc | 14:29 |
| gnarface | what does "df -h" report for it? | 14:30 |
| gnarface | same thing or? | 14:30 |
| FlibberTGibbet | /dev/sda2 451G 419G 8.3G 99% / | 14:31 |
| gnarface | swap file? | 14:32 |
| FlibberTGibbet | separate swap partition only :) | 14:32 |
| FlibberTGibbet | (which is on) | 14:32 |
| gnarface | i'm outta ideas | 14:32 |
| FlibberTGibbet | me too! | 14:32 |
| gnarface | something weird though | 14:32 |
| gnarface | it's not a virtual machine, right? | 14:32 |
| FlibberTGibbet | yes, certainly is | 14:32 |
| gnarface | it is a virtual machine? | 14:33 |
| gnarface | or certainly is weird? | 14:33 |
| FlibberTGibbet | just an old box with a 2-drive raid added on (not included in this issue :) ) | 14:34 |
| FlibberTGibbet | not a VM | 14:34 |
| gnarface | oh is sda2 part of a raid array? | 14:34 |
| gnarface | no, not part of the raid | 14:34 |
| gnarface | ? | 14:34 |
| gnarface | if you're sure... | 14:34 |
| gnarface | i don't know enough about software raid to know what it might do to things in what cases | 14:35 |
| FlibberTGibbet | no, sda2 is standalone. sd[somethingelse] is the raid... | 14:46 |
| FlibberTGibbet | ah well. it's an old HDD anyway, might be worth rsync'ing it onto a new drive and changing them over | 14:48 |
| FlibberTGibbet | thanks anyway gnarface | 14:48 |
| xinomilo | maybe the large disks disconnected, and filesystem writing data to sda2 instead? | 14:49 |
| FlibberTGibbet | sounds horrible, xinomilo :o | 14:54 |
| FlibberTGibbet | don't *think* it's the case but worth checking perhaps | 14:55 |
| FlibberTGibbet | nope, they appear to be mounted properly. ah well. | 14:57 |
| xinomilo | past bad experience, nevermind :D | 14:59 |
| xinomilo | du -shc /[^.]* * | grep G | 15:07 |
| xinomilo | then into large folders perhaps. could be a hidden folder/file | 15:07 |
| nemo | FlibberTGibbet: the last time I ran out of space it was a combination of the apt cache and a very large mysql db I'd forgotten about | 15:30 |
| nemo | FlibberTGibbet: do you happen to know at least which mount it is? /home vs /var say ? | 15:30 |
| nemo | (large mysql db from a test run of matomo) | 15:31 |
| nemo | xinomilo: I rather like find -ls | sort -k7 -n since it lets me figure out what I want to sacrifice ☺ | 15:32 |
| FlibberTGibbet | thanks nemo, will take a look | 16:13 |
| systemdlete | FlibberTGibbet: Do you have other filesystems on the disk that are not mounted? fdisk -l /dev/sd? | 18:11 |
| systemdlete | actually, nvm. maybe try df -i? | 18:11 |
