How to locate small file consumption creep
How can I locate what seems to be a small file consumption creep on my system. In one 10-gig partition, I have about 1.1 gig of free space available, but I've noticed that some of this space seems to go away overnight when nothing is running. For example, last night 'df' showed this: FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 9.9G 2.7G 6.7G 29% / /dev/hda1 76M 5.3M 67M 8% /boot /dev/hda3 9.9G 8.8G 1.1G 90% /home /dev/hda7 9.9G 7.3G 2.1G 78% /mnt/hda7 And this morning, 'df' showed this: FilesystemSize Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda2 9.9G 2.7G 6.7G 29% / /dev/hda1 76M 5.3M 67M 8% /boot /dev/hda3 9.9G 9.0G 951M 91% /home /dev/hda7 9.9G 7.3G 2.1G 78% /mnt/hda7 So what could account for the loss of file space from 1.1G to 951M overnight with nothing running and how could I search my system to find an answer? --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
Re: How to locate small file consumption creep
Perhaps you have an app running that likes putting stuff in its respective folder in ~/.*? For example, if Firefox were to fill it's cache in ~/.mozilla/. An unlikely cause, but do you get my idea? What do you normally have running overnight? Josef Lowder wrote: How can I locate what seems to be a small file consumption creep on my system.

There are always 'things' running behind the scenes, such as cron and
anything that cron's scheduled to run. The process that created
something in your /home partition could be one of many things.
For a hint, you might try running a find command looking for anything
with a recent time stamp, such as
# find /home -mmin 480 -exec ls -l {} \;
See man find for details.

Re: How to locate small file consumption creep
Most likely a hidden file or files. Since it is in HOME I run Kubuntu. (I) would use Krusader to compare directories, BUT I'll bet there is someone here with a simple command line that will do the trick. :-) Josef Lowder wrote: How can I locate what seems to be a small file consumption creep on my system.

RE: How to locate small file consumption creep
find / -atime +1 # fild all files starting at / accessed 1 day ago.
find / -atime +1 /tmp/fileage # put list of files starting at / into a tmp
file called fileage
find . -atime +1 -type f -exec mv {} TMP \; # mv files accessed (in . dirspec)
from 1 day to dir TMP
Note differences between atime, ctime and mtime:
-atime/-ctime/-mtime
[+|-]n
Specify selection of the files based on three
Unix timestamps: the last time
a files's access time, file status and modification time.
n is time
interval -- an integer with optional sign. It is measured in
24-hour periods (days) or minutes counted from the current moment.n: If
the integer n does not have
sign this means exactly n 24-hour periods (days) ago, 0 means
today.
+n: if it has plus sing, then it
means more then n 24-hour periods (days) ago, or older then n,
-n: if it has the minus sign, then
it means less than n 24-hour periods (days) ago (-n), or
younger then
n. It's evident that -1, and 0 are the same and both means
today.
