Public bug reported: Hi
When I first updated Ubuntu 16.04.4, about 3 weeks ago, I found out being rapidly short of disk memory on the partition, and then could not even make a screenshot. I went to the French forum and after a long search we found out that "pcie_aspm" was responsible for that. Actually it fills up very rapidly 2 logs (the 2 last ones on the following list) ********************* ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo du -ma --max-depth=1 /mnt/5 | sort -n 0 /mnt/5/initrd.img 0 /mnt/5/initrd.img.old 0 /mnt/5/vmlinuz 0 /mnt/5/vmlinuz.old 1 /mnt/5/cdrom 1 /mnt/5/dev 1 /mnt/5/lib64 1 /mnt/5/lost+found 1 /mnt/5/media 1 /mnt/5/mnt 1 /mnt/5/opt 1 /mnt/5/proc 1 /mnt/5/root 1 /mnt/5/run 1 /mnt/5/snap 1 /mnt/5/srv 1 /mnt/5/sys 1 /mnt/5/tmp 4 /mnt/5/lib32 13 /mnt/5/bin 13 /mnt/5/sbin 14 /mnt/5/etc 211 /mnt/5/boot 237 /mnt/5/home 1035 /mnt/5/lib 4383 /mnt/5/usr 31289 /mnt/5/var 37196 /mnt/5 *********************** /mnt/5 is the mounting point of Ub partition (sda5) on the live key Here is the forum address of the post (sorry it's in French but the terminal copies are self explaining) https://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=2028634 Yesterday, after reseting the logs ... ************************* ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ echo | sudo tee /mnt/5/var/log/kern.log ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ echo | sudo tee /mnt/5/var/log/syslog ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ sudo du -ma --max-depth=1 /mnt/5 | sort -n 0 /mnt/5/initrd.img 0 /mnt/5/initrd.img.old 0 /mnt/5/vmlinuz 0 /mnt/5/vmlinuz.old 1 /mnt/5/cdrom 1 /mnt/5/dev 1 /mnt/5/lib64 1 /mnt/5/lost+found 1 /mnt/5/media 1 /mnt/5/mnt 1 /mnt/5/opt 1 /mnt/5/proc 1 /mnt/5/root 1 /mnt/5/run 1 /mnt/5/snap 1 /mnt/5/srv 1 /mnt/5/sys 1 /mnt/5/tmp 4 /mnt/5/lib32 13 /mnt/5/bin 13 /mnt/5/sbin 14 /mnt/5/etc 211 /mnt/5/boot 237 /mnt/5/home 995 /mnt/5/var 1035 /mnt/5/lib 4383 /mnt/5/usr 6902 /mnt/5 *********************************** ... I rebooted normally (no live key) and after 5 mn I found out, from gparted, that my partition reached 37 Go, close to its max 39 Go The only way to shutdown was a long press on the Power button, otherwise it was a continuing flow of error messages A clever guy from the forum gave me the solution by adding "pcie_aspm" in the grub I changed, on the following file, "sudo nautilus /etc/default/grub" GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" into GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pcie_aspm=off" And it works !!! my partition never exceed 7 Go I wanted to notify you about this important point which blocked my PC and, from the forum, I realized I was not the only one Thanks for you action on future update ** Affects: usb-creator (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1784101 Title: Ubuntu partition fills automatically To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/usb-creator/+bug/1784101/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
