[TODO] A detailed troubleshooting should be made instead of bulletpoints.
- Check if the device itself has free space
- df-h
- If you need to clear logs a simple redirect would be enough
- > file.log
- If the issue still remains probably your inodes are full. You can check it with:
- df -i
- If that is the issue you can check where the issues lies with:
- for i in /*; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done
- You can go deeper then with:
- for i in /var/*; do echo $i; find $i |wc -l; done - In my case the issue was by /var/spool/postfix/maildrop. A “rm -fv” doesn't work, since there are too many files in that directory. Therefore, you can make sure a loop will delete the files you actually want with:
- for f in *; do echo rm “$f”; done
- and if you are happy with the result, commit to it:
- for f in *; do rm “$f”; done
