Thread: Disk space warnings

i'm little puzzled why i'm getting warning running out of disk space. seems others have similar issues little resolve. i'm hoping horde can help.

received warning how have little disk space remaining. got message when writing files /home directory.


output of df -h is:

code:

filesystem            size  used avail use% mounted on  /dev/sda1             7.4g  5.9g  1.1g  85% /  none                  984m  288k  983m   1% /dev  none                  988m  280k  988m   1% /dev/shm  none                  988m   76k  988m   1% /var/run  none                  988m     0  988m   0% /var/lock  none                  988m     0  988m   0% /lib/init/rw  none                  7.4g  5.9g  1.1g  85% /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs  /dev/sda5              63g  5.7g   54g  10% /home

you'll see have distinct partitions / , /home. root @ 85% capacity. /home using 10%.

but, ubuntu's disk usage analyzer reports root (/) directory @ 100% usage, consuming 10.8 gb or so. /home directory, disk usage analyzer appears see subdirectory, using 5.5 gb of space (50%). in bold @ top of disk usage anaylzer, reads "total filesystem capacity: 69.7 gb (used 11.7 gb; available 57.9 gb)." warning received seems based on information seen in disk usage analyzer.

record, i've cleaned out aptitude , i've emptied trash directories could.

don't want programming glitch decide i've run out of disk space , lock me out.

why difference? can trust? and, why message?

what's /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs ?
