Search for deleted files:

Code:

lsof / | grep "(deleted)"

Code:

lsof / | grep "(deleted)"

returned no entries

Code:

lsof | grep -i del

shows file on /dev/zero only

Code:

find / -xdev -type f -size +1000 -mtime -60

returned some entries

Code:

I deleted those files, freed up 100 Mbs, but the MySQL is not starting, reporting
