No free space but not for root

[Omar Belkhodja]

Hi,

While I was using my Fedora 64, I had some application crash (Firefox). Then I restarted my machine and I see that I can no more write to the filesystem with any other user than root. If I am in my /home/omar, trying to do

#mkdir test
=> no free space

now if I use the root

#su
#mkdir test

No problem happens

I don't understand the issue. Can anybody help or suggest where I can find help ?

Thanks !

You have run out of space on the root file system , You can still use root because of the 5% that is reserved for root.
You will need to delete some user files to fix this .

But how can I free space ? I have used rm for many big files I have but still I see the same problem.

[root@localhost ~]# df -h
Sys. de fich. Tail. Occ. Disp. %Occ. Monté sur
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
93G 89G 0 100% /
/dev/sda3 99M 17M 77M 18% /boot
tmpfs 500M 0 500M 0% /dev/shm
/dev/sda2 365G 186G 179G 51% /media/Windows

you still need to delete files


[root@localhost ~]# df -h
Sys. de fich. Tail. Occ. Disp. %Occ. Monté sur
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
93G 89G 0 100% /

More specifically you need to create more free space on "/",

Perhaps the result of "du -sH /*" will help indicate where the space is used.

You were right thanks ! I created a new bigger partition and moved all the home directory to that new partition.

Thanks !
