Operating Systems Linux Red Hat On CentOS, moving space from large free directory to another Post 302632609 by drl on Monday 30th of April 2012 11:43:33 AM

Hi.

For comparison, on a CentOS machine I use:
Code:
OS, ker|rel, machine: Linux, 2.6.32-220.el6.x86_64, x86_64
Distribution        : CentOS release 6.2 (Final)

using commands:
Code:
du -skh /usr/*|sort -rh

produces:
Code:
2.3G	/usr/share
913M	/usr/lib64
249M	/usr/bin
246M	/usr/lib
129M	/usr/include
59M	/usr/libexec
47M	/usr/src
23M	/usr/sbin
144K	/usr/local
4.0K	/usr/games
4.0K	/usr/etc
0	/usr/tmp

My include and lib64 might be a bit large because I have the boost libraries installed.

In looking at /usr/bin/*, after omitting script, dynamic, and symbolic lines, I find fewer than 20 items, out of more than 2000.

If you have directories that are in addition to these, or some that are far larger, that might be a starting point for jim's suggestion.

Best wishes ... cheers, drl

lint(1B)                                             SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands                                             lint(1B)

NAME
lint - C program verifier SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/lint [options] DESCRIPTION
/usr/ucb/lint is the interface to the BSD Compatibility Package C program verifier. It is a script that looks for the link /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint to the C program verifier. /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint is available only with the SPROcc package, whose default location is /opt/SUNWspro. /usr/ucb/lint is identical to /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint, except that BSD headers are used and BSD libraries are linked before base libraries. The /opt/SUNWspro/man/man1/lint.1 man page is available only with the SPROcc package. OPTIONS
/usr/ucb/lint accepts the same options as /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint, with the following exceptions: -Idir Search dir for included files whose names do not begin with a slash (/) prior to searching the usual directories. The directories for multiple -I options are searched in the order specified. The preprocessor first searches for #include files in the directory containing sourcefile, and then in directories named with -I options (if any), then /usr/ucbinclude, and finally, in /usr/include. -Ldir Add dir to the list of directories searched for libraries by /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint. This option is passed to /usr/ccs/bin/ld. Directories specified with this option are searched before /usr/ucblib and /usr/lib. -Y P, dir Change the default directory used for finding libraries. EXIT STATUS
The following exit values are returned: 0 Successful completion. >0 An error occurred. FILES
/usr/lint/bin/ld link editor /usr/lib/libc C library /usr/ucbinclude BSD Compatibility directory for header files /usr/ucblib BSD Compatibility directory for libraries /usr/ucblib/libucb BSD Compatibility C library /usr/lib/libsocket library containing socket routines /usr/lib/libnsl library containing network functions /usr/lib/libelf library containing routines to process ELF object files /usr/lib/libaio library containing asynchronous I/O routines ATTRIBUTES
