Fwd: There's not enough space in /var/lib/mysql/ ---help!!!!

2007-08-13 Thread Michael Habashy
I am using debian 4.0 and mysql-server-5.0 package.
My server will not start because it states that there is not enough
spaceCan someone assist?

rider:~# df -h
FilesystemSize  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_house-lv_root
  493G  468G 0 100% /
tmpfs 1.5G 0  1.5G   0% /lib/init/rw
udev   10M   96K   10M   1% /dev
tmpfs 1.5G 0  1.5G   0% /dev/shm
/dev/md0  274M   25M  235M  10% /boot


I have a 500gb lvm partition...with hardly anything on it.

I am new to lvm so i will need assistance..i think the package is
failing because it is not reading lvm properly.

I have removed the mysql package and now i can not re-install it on the
partition...i would appriciate any help offered.

thanks
mjh

 Michael, it looks to me like your root partition is absolutely 100% chock
 full.  Am I misunderstanding your request for help?  Sounds like you are
 saying you think you have nothing in that partition - but your 'df -h'
 command is showing 0 bytes available in /.
